ve broken the
chains of your necks, that you might go upright.
26:14. But if you will not hear me, nor do all my commandments:
26:15. If you despise my laws, and contemn my judgments so as not to do
those things which are appointed by me, and to make void my covenant:
26:16. I also will do these things to you. I will quickly visit you with
poverty, and burning heat, which shall waste your eyes, and consume your
lives. You shall sow your seed in vain, which shall be devoured by your
enemies.
26:17. I will set my face against you, and you shall fall down before
your enemies: and shall be made subject to them that hate you. You shall
flee when no man pursueth you.
26:18. But if you will not yet for all this obey me: I will chastise you
seven times more for your sins.
26:19. And I will break the pride of your stubbornness: and I will make
to you the heaven above as iron, and the earth as brass.
26:20. Your labour shall be spent in vain: the ground shall not bring

pestilence in the midst of you. And you shall be delivered into the
hands of your enemies,
26:26. After I shall have broken the staff of your bread: so that ten
women shall bake your bread in one oven, and give it out by weight: and
you shall eat, and shall not be filled,
26:27. But if you will not for all this hearken to me, but will walk

26:28. I will also go against you with opposite fury: and I will
chastise you with seven plagues for your sins,
26:29. So that you shall eat the flesh of your sons and of your

26:30. I will destroy your high places, and break your idols. You shall
fall among the ruins of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.
26:31. Insomuch that I will bring your cities to be a wilderness: and I
