Leviticus 26:25-46

25 And ^cI will bring a sword upon you, that shall execute vengeance for the covenant. And if you gather within your cities, ^dI will send pestilence among you, and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy. 26 ^eWhen 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 ^gyou shall eat and not be satisfied.

27 “But ^hif in spite of this you will not listen to me, but walk contrary to me, 28 then I will walk contrary to you ⁱin fury, and I myself will discipline you ^jsevenfold for your sins. 29 ^kYou shall eat the flesh of your sons, and you shall eat the flesh of your daughters. 30 And ^lI will destroy your high places and cut down your incense altars and ^mcast your dead bodies upon the dead bodies of your idols, and my soul will abhor you. 31 And I will ⁿlay your cities waste and will ^omake your sanctuaries desolate, and ^pI will not smell your pleasing aromas. 32 And ^qI myself will devastate the land, so that your enemies who settle in it shall be ^rappalled at it. 33 And ^sI 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 ^t“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 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. 36 And as for those of you who are left, ^vI will send faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies. The ^wsound of a ^xdriven leaf shall put them to flight, and they shall flee as one flees from the sword, and they shall fall when none pursues. 37 They shall stumble over one another, as if to escape a sword, though none pursues. And ^yyou shall have no power to stand before your enemies. 38 And you shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. 39 And those of you who are left shall ^zrot away in your enemies’ lands because of their iniquity, and also because of the iniquities of their fathers they shall rot away like them.

40 “But if ^aathey confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers in their treachery that they ^abcommitted against me, and also in walking contrary to me, 41 so that I walked contrary to them and brought them into the land of their enemies—if then their ^acuncircumcised heart is ^adhumbled and they make amends for their iniquity, 42 then I will ^aeremember my covenant with Jacob, and I will remember my covenant with Isaac and my covenant with Abraham, and I will ^afremember the land. 43 But ^agthe 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. 44 Yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, ^ahI will not spurn them, neither will I abhor them so as to destroy them utterly and ^aibreak my covenant with them, for I am the Lord their God. 45 But I will for their sake remember the covenant with their forefathers, ^ajwhom I brought out of the land of Egypt ^akin the sight of the nations, that I might be their God: I am the Lord.”

58 “If you are not careful to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that you may fear this glorious and awesome name, ^bkthe Lord your God, 59 then the Lord will bring on you and your offspring extraordinary afflictions, afflictions severe and lasting, and sicknesses grievous and lasting. 60 And he will bring upon you again all ^blthe diseases of Egypt, of which you were afraid, and they shall cling to you. 61 Every sickness also and every affliction that is not recorded in the book of this law, the Lord will bring upon you, until you are destroyed.

2 Kings 6:25-29

25 And there was a great famine in Samaria, as they besieged it, until a donkey’s head was sold for eighty shekels of silver, and the fourth part of a kab ^{▼▼A shekel was about 2/5 ounce or 11 grams; a kab was about 1 quart or 1 liter} of dove’s dung for five shekels of silver. 26 Now as the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried out to him, saying, “Help, my lord, O king!” 27 And he said, “If the Lord will not help you, how shall I help you? From the threshing floor, or from the winepress?” 28 And the king asked her, “What is your trouble?” She answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’ 29 ^bnSo we boiled my son and ate him. And on the next day I said to her, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him.’ But she has hidden her son.”
