17. I will set My face against you so that you will be struck down before your enemies; and those who hate you will rule over you, and you will flee when no one is pursuing you.
18. If also after these things you do not obey Me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.
19. I will also break down your pride of power; I will also make your sky like iron and your earth like bronze.
20. Your strength will be spent uselessly, for your land will not yield its produce and the trees of the land will not yield their fruit.
21. 'If then, you act with hostility against Me and are unwilling to obey Me, I will increase the plague on you seven times according to your sins.
22. I will let loose among you the beasts of the field, which will bereave you of your children and destroy your cattle and reduce your number so that your roads lie deserted.
23. 'And if by these things you are not turned to Me, but act with hostility against Me,
24. then I will act with hostility against you; and I, even I, will strike you seven times for your sins.
