25 I will bring war on you to punish you for breaking our covenant, and if you gather in your cities for safety, I will send incurable diseases among you, and you will be forced to surrender to your enemies.
26 I will cut off your food supply, so that ten women will need only one oven to bake all the bread they have. They will ration it out, and when you have eaten it all, you will still be hungry.
27 “If after all this you still continue to defy me and refuse to obey me,
28 then in my anger I will turn on you and again make your punishment seven times worse than before.
29 Your hunger will be so great that you will eat your own children.
30 I will destroy your places of worship on the hills, tear down your incense altars, and throw your dead bodies on your fallen idols. In utter disgust
31 I will turn your cities into ruins, destroy your places of worship, and refuse to accept your sacrifices.
