Leviticus 26:23-26
New English Translation
23 “‘If in spite of these things[a] you do not allow yourselves to be disciplined and you walk in hostility against me,[b] 24 then I myself will also walk in hostility against you and strike you[c] seven times on account of your sins. 25 I will bring on you an avenging sword, a covenant vengeance.[d] Although[e] you will gather together into your cities, I will send pestilence among you and you will be given into enemy hands.[f] 26 When I break off your supply of bread,[g] ten women will bake your bread in one oven; they will ration your bread by weight,[h] and you will eat and not be satisfied.
