Punishment for Disobedience

14 a“But if you will not listen to me and will not do all these commandments, 15if you spurn my statutes, and if your soul abhors my rules, so that you will not do all my commandments, but bbreak my covenant, 16then I will do this to you: I will visit you with panic, with cwasting disease and fever that consume the eyes and make the heart ache. And dyou shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. 17I will eset my face against you, and fyou shall be struck down before your enemies. gThose who hate you shall rule over you, and hyou shall flee when none pursues you. 18And if in spite of this you will not listen to me, then I will discipline you again isevenfold for your sins, 19and I will break jthe pride of your power, and I kwill make your heavens like iron and your earth like bronze. 20And lyour strength shall be spent in vain, for myour land shall not yield its increase, and the trees of the land shall not yield their fruit.

21 n“Then if you walk contrary to me and will not listen to me, I will continue striking you, sevenfold for your sins. 22And oI will let loose the wild beasts against you, which shall bereave you of your children and destroy your livestock and make you few in number, so that pyour roads shall be deserted.

23“And qif by this discipline you are not turned to me rbut walk contrary to me, 24 sthen I also will walk contrary to you, and I myself will strike you sevenfold for your sins. 25And tI will bring a sword upon you, that shall execute vengeance for the covenant. And if you gather within your cities, uI will send pestilence among you, and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy. 26 vWhen I break your supply
Hebrew staff
of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in a single oven and shall dole out your bread again by weight, and xyou shall eat and not be satisfied.

27“But yif in spite of this you will not listen to me, but walk contrary to me, 28then I will walk contrary to you zin fury, and I myself will discipline you aasevenfold for your sins. 29 abYou shall eat the flesh of your sons, and you shall eat the flesh of your daughters. 30And acI will destroy your high places and cut down your incense altars and adcast your dead bodies upon the dead bodies of your idols, and my soul will abhor you. 31And I will aelay your cities waste and will afmake your sanctuaries desolate, and agI will not smell your pleasing aromas. 32And ahI myself will devastate the land, so that your enemies who settle in it shall be aiappalled at it. 33And ajI 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 ak“Then the land shall enjoy
Or pay for; twice in this verse; also verse 43
its Sabbaths as long as it lies desolate, while you are in your enemiesland; then the land shall rest, and enjoy its Sabbaths.
35As 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. 36And as for those of you who are left, amI will send faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies. The ansound of a aodriven leaf shall put them to flight, and they shall flee as one flees from the sword, and they shall fall when none pursues. 37They shall stumble over one another, as if to escape a sword, though none pursues. And apyou shall have no power to stand before your enemies. 38And you shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. 39And those of you who are left shall aqrot away in your enemieslands because of their iniquity, and also because of the iniquities of their fathers they shall rot away like them.

40“But if arthey confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers in their treachery that they ascommitted against me, and also in walking contrary to me, 41so that I walked contrary to them and brought them into the land of their enemiesif then their atuncircumcised heart is auhumbled and they make amends for their iniquity, 42then I will avremember my covenant with Jacob, and I will remember my covenant with Isaac and my covenant with Abraham, and I will awremember the land. 43But axthe land shall be abandoned by them and enjoy its Sabbaths while it lies desolate without them, and they shall make amends for their iniquity, because they spurned my rules and their soul abhorred my statutes. 44Yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, ayI will not spurn them, neither will I abhor them so as to destroy them utterly and azbreak my covenant with them, for I am the Lord their God. 45But I will for their sake remember the covenant with their forefathers, bawhom I brought out of the land of Egypt bbin the sight of the nations, that I might be their God: I am the Lord.”

And cwthere you shall serve other gods of wood and stone. 37And you shall become cxa horror, a proverb, and a byword among all the peoples where the Lord will lead you away. 38 cyYou shall carry much seed into the field and shall gather in little, for czthe locust shall consume it. 39 daYou shall plant vineyards and dress them, but you shall neither drink of the wine nor gather the grapes, for the worm shall eat them. 40You shall have olive trees throughout all your territory, but you dbshall not anoint yourself with the oil, for your olives shall drop off. 41You shall father sons and daughters, but they shall not be yours, for dcthey shall go into captivity. 42 ddThe cricket

And he dlwill put a yoke of iron on your neck until he has destroyed you. 49 dmThe Lord will bring a nation against you from far away, from the end of the earth, dnswooping down like the eagle, a nation dowhose language you do not understand, 50a hard-faced nation dpwho shall not respect the old or show mercy to the young. 51It shall dqeat the offspring of your cattle and the fruit of your ground, until you are destroyed; it also shall not leave you grain, wine, or oil, the increase of your herds or the young of your flock, until they have caused you to perish.

And you shall be plucked off the land that you are entering to take possession of it.

64“And the Lord ehwill scatter you among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other, and eithere you shall serve other gods ejof wood and stone, ekwhich neither you nor your fathers have known. 65And elamong these nations you shall find no respite, and there shall be no resting place for the sole of your foot, but emthe Lord will give you there a trembling heart and failing eyes and ena languishing soul. 66Your life shall hang in doubt before you. Night and day you shall be in dread and have no assurance of your life. 67 eoIn the morning you shall say, ‘If only it were evening!’ and at evening you shall say, ‘If only it were morning!’ because of the dread that your heart shall feel, and epthe sights that your eyes shall see. 68And the Lord eqwill bring you back in ships to Egypt, a journey that I promised that eryou should never make again; and there you shall offer yourselves for sale to your enemies as male and female slaves, but there will be no buyer.”

20The Lord will not be willing to forgive him, but rather esthe anger of the Lord and ethis jealousy will smoke against that man, and the curses written in this book will settle upon him, and the Lord euwill blot out his name from under heaven. 21And the Lord will single him out from all the tribes of Israel for calamity, in accordance with all the curses of the covenant written in this Book of the Law.

Daniel 9:11-14

11 evAll Israel has transgressed your law and turned aside, ewrefusing to obey your voice. exAnd the curse and oath eythat are written in the Law of ezMoses the servant of God have been poured out upon us, because fawe have sinned against him. 12He has confirmed his words, which he spoke against us and against fbour rulers who ruled us,
Or  our judges who judged us
by fdbringing upon us a great calamity. feFor under the whole heaven there has not been done anything like what has been done against Jerusalem.
13 ffAs it is written in the Law of Moses, all this calamity has come upon us; yet we have not entreated the favor of the Lord our God, fgturning from our iniquities and gaining insight by your truth. 14 fhTherefore the Lord has kept ready the calamity and has brought it upon us, fifor the Lord our God is righteous in all the works that he has done, and fjwe have not obeyed his voice.
