18And if ye will not yet for these things hearken unto me, then I will chastise you seven times more for your sins.
19And I will break the pride of your power: and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass;
20and your strength shall be spent in vain; for your land shall not yield its increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruit.
21And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.
22And I will send the beast of the field among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your ways shall become desolate.
23And if by these things ye will not be reformed unto me, but will walk contrary unto me;
