19 And I will also destroy the great cities that make you proud. The skies will not give rain, and the earth will not produce crops.
20 You will work hard, but it will not help. Your land will not give any crops, and your trees will not grow their fruit.
21 “If you still turn against me and refuse to obey me, I will beat you seven times harder! The more you sin, the more you will be punished.
22 I will send wild animals against you. They will take your children away from you. They will destroy your animals. They will kill many of your people. The roads will all be empty.
23 “If you don’t learn your lesson after all this, and if you still turn against me,
24 then I will also turn against you. I—yes, I myself—will punish you seven times for your sins.
25 You will have broken my agreement, so I will punish you. I will bring armies against you. You will go into your cities for safety, but I will cause diseases to spread among you. And your enemies will defeat you.
