14 “But if you will not listen to Me, nor carry out all these mitzvot,
15 and if you reject My statutes and if your soul abhors My ordinances, so that you do not keep all My mitzvot, but instead break My covenant,
16 then I will do the following to you in return. I will appoint terror over you, wasting disease and fever that will dim the eyes and cause the soul to pine away. You will sow your seed in vain, because your enemies will eat it.
17 I will set My face against you and you will be routed before your enemies. Those who hate you will rule over you, and you will flee when no one pursues you.
18 “If you, in spite of these things, will not listen to Me, then I will chastise you seven times more for your sins.
19 I will break your pride of power. I will make your sky like iron and your earth like bronze.
20 Also your strength will be spent in vain, for your land will not yield its increase, nor will the trees of the land yield their fruit.
