But, if ye will not hearken unto me, And will not do all these commandments;

And if, my statutes, ye refuse, And, my regulations, your souls shall abhor, - So that ye will not do all my commandments, But shall break my covenant

I also, will do this unto you - I will set over you, for terror, consumption and fever, Causing the eyes to fail and the soul to pine away, - And ye shall sow, in vain, your seed, for it shall be eaten by your foes.

And I will set my face against you, And ye shall be smitten before your foes,-And be trodden down by them who hate you, And shall flee when no one is pursuing you.

And, if even with these things, ye will not hearken unto me, Then will I yet further correct you seven times, for your sins.

So will I break your pomp of power, And will set your heavens as iron, and your land as bronze;

And your strength shall be spent in vain, - And your land shall not yield her increase, And the trees of the land, shall not yield their fruit.

If therefore, ye will go in opposition to me, And not be willing to hearken unto me, Then will I yet further plague you seven times according to your sins;

And will send among you the wild-beast of the field And it shall rob you of your children, And cut off your cattle, And make you few in number; And your roads shall be silent.

And, if, by these things, ye will not be corrected by me, - But will go in opposition to me,

Then will, I also, go in opposition to you. And, I, even I, will plague you seven times for your sins;

And will bring in upon you a sword that shall inflict the covenanted avenging: So shall ye be gathered into your cities, - Then will I send a pestilence into your midst, And ye shall be delivered into the hand of an enemy.

When I have broken your staff of bread, then shall ten women bake your bread in one oven, And give back your bread by weight, - And ye shall eat and not be filled.
