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.

23 ‘And if ^aby these things you are not reformed by Me, but walk contrary to Me,

24 ^athen I also will walk contrary to you, and I will punish you yet seven times for your sins.

25 And ^aI will bring a sword against you that will execute the vengeance of the covenant;
when you are gathered together within your cities ^bI will send pestilence among you;
and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

26 ^aWhen I have cut off your supply of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall bring back your bread by weight, ^band you shall eat and not be satisfied.

27 ‘And after all this, if you do not obey Me, but walk contrary to Me,

28 then I also will walk contrary to you in fury;
and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.

29 ^aYou¹ shall eat the flesh of your sons, and you shall eat the flesh of your daughters.

30 ^aI will destroy your high places, cut down your incense altars, and cast your carcasses on the lifeless forms of your idols;
and My soul shall abhor you.

31 I will lay your ^acities waste and ^bbring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not ^csmell the fragrance of your sweet aromas.

32 ^aI will bring the land to desolation, and your enemies who dwell in it shall be astonished at it.

33 ^aI will scatter you among the nations and draw out a sword after you;
your land shall be desolate and your cities waste.

34 ^aThen the land shall enjoy its sabbaths as long as it lies desolate and you are in your enemies’ land;
then the land shall rest and enjoy its sabbaths.

35 As long as it lies desolate it shall rest—
for the time it did not rest on your ^asabbaths when you dwelt in it.
