24 (A)then I also will walk contrary to you, and I myself will strike you sevenfold for your sins. 25 And (B)I will bring a sword upon you, that shall execute vengeance for the covenant. And if you gather within your cities, (C)I will send pestilence among you, and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy. 26 (D)When I break your supply[a] of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in a single oven and shall dole out your bread again by weight, and (E)you shall eat and not be satisfied.

27 “But (F)if in spite of this you will not listen to me, but walk contrary to me, 28 then I will walk contrary to you (G)in fury, and I myself will discipline you (H)sevenfold for your sins. 29 (I)You shall eat the flesh of your sons, and you shall eat the flesh of your daughters. 30 And (J)I will destroy your high places and cut down your incense altars and (K)cast your dead bodies upon the dead bodies of your idols, and my soul will abhor you. 31 And I will (L)lay your cities waste and will (M)make your sanctuaries desolate, and (N)I will not smell your pleasing aromas. 32 And (O)I myself will devastate the land, so that your enemies who settle in it shall be (P)appalled at it. 33 And (Q)I will scatter you among the nations, and I will unsheathe the sword after you, and your land shall be a desolation, and your cities shall be a waste.

34 (R)“Then the land shall enjoy[b] its Sabbaths as long as it lies desolate, while you are in your enemies' land; then the land shall rest, and enjoy its Sabbaths. 35 As long as it lies desolate it shall have rest, the rest that it did not have on your Sabbaths when you were dwelling in it.
