Leviticus 26:16-18

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁶I will do this: I will appoint over you [sudden] terror (trembling, trouble), even consumption and fever that consume and waste the eyes and make the [physical] life pine away. You shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

¹⁷I [the Lord] will set My face against you and ^[a]you shall be defeated and slain before your enemies; they who hate you shall rule over you; you shall flee when no one pursues you.^(A)

¹⁸And if in spite of all this you still will not listen and be obedient to Me, then I will chastise and discipline you seven times more for your sins.

Footnotes

Leviticus 26:17 This chapter abounds in prophecies of what God would do for, or against, His people if they did, or did not, meet His conditions. Each of these prophecies was literally fulfilled in the following centuries. The Scripture references indicate where these fulfillments are recorded; there are at least a dozen of them. Yet some people do not seem to have awakened to the fact that God keeps His word, whether for us or against us. It all depends on us.
