15. and if at My statutes ye kick, and if My judgments your soul loathe, so as not to do all My commands--to your breaking My covenant--
16. I also do this to you, and I have appointed over you trouble, the consumption, and the burning fever, consuming eyes, and causing pain of soul; and your seed in vain ye have sowed, and your enemies have eaten it;
17. and I have set My face against you, and ye have been smitten before your enemies; and those hating you have ruled over you, and ye have fled, and there is none pursuing you.
18. `And if unto these ye hearken not to Me, --then I have added to chastise you seven times for your sins;
19. and I have broken the pride of your strength, and have made your heavens as iron, and your earth as brass;
20. and consumed hath been your strength in vain, and your land doth not give her produce, and the tree of the land doth not give its fruit.
21. `And if ye walk with Me [in] opposition, and are not willing to hearken to Me, then I have added to you a plague seven times, according to your sins,
22. and sent against you the beast of the field, and it hath bereaved you; and I have cut off your cattle, and have made you few, and your ways have been desolate.
