'^(C1)And if by these things you do not learn your lesson regarding Me, but you show hostility toward Me,

then I in turn will ^(C1)show hostility toward you; and I, even I, will strike you ^(C2)seven times for your sins.

'I will also bring upon you a sword which will execute ^(C1)vengeance for the covenant; and when you gather together into your cities, I will send a ^(C2)plague among you, so that you will be handed over to the enemy.

'^(C1)When I break your staff of bread, ten women will bake your bread in one oven, and they will bring back your bread ^(F1)in rationed amounts, so that you will ^(C2)eat and not be satisfied.

'Yet if in spite of this you do not obey Me, but act with hostility against Me,

then ^(C1)I will act with wrathful hostility against you, and I for My part will punish you seven times for your sins.
