Leviticus 26:19

17 I will¹ set ^aMy face against you, and ^byou shall be defeated by your enemies.
^cThose who hate you shall reign over you, and you shall ^dflee when no one pursues you.

18 ‘And after all this, if you do not obey Me, then I will punish you ^aseven times more for your sins.

19 I will ^abreak the pride of your power;
I ^bwill make your heavens like iron and your earth like bronze.

20 And your ^astrength shall be spent in vain;
for your ^bland shall not yield its produce, nor shall the trees of the land yield their fruit.

21 ‘Then, if you walk contrary to Me, and are not willing to obey Me, I will bring on you seven times more plagues, according to your sins.

22 ^aI will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, destroy your livestock, and make you few in number;
and ^byour highways shall be desolate.

Leviticus 26:14-29

Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28 are the "blessings and cursings" chapters of the Bible. It may have been quite some time since last we read these sections. Consider these scriptures in light of what we have just discussed: the increasing pressure that God applies in order to draw us closer to Him and to stop taking Him for granted. We will look at the section in Leviticus here.

Can we see how these curses are increasingly intensified each time Israel fails to repent of neglecting God?

So, God makes no bones about it. The control of the weather is in His hands, and it is entirely dependent on whether they will obey Him or not.
