Leviticus 26:16-18

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁶ I in turn will do this to you: I will bring terror on you, consumption and fever that waste the eyes and cause life to pine away. You shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.^{(A) 17} I will set my face against you, and you shall be struck down by your enemies; your foes shall rule over you, and you shall flee though no one pursues you.^{(B) 18} And if in spite of this you will not obey me, I will continue to punish you sevenfold for your sins.
