If, despite all this, you disobey and continue hostile to me,
So we boiled my son and ate him. The next day I said to her, ‘Now give up your son that we may eat him.’ But she hid her son.”
If then you continue hostile, unwilling to obey me, I will multiply my blows sevenfold, as your sins deserve.
I, too, will continue to be hostile to you and I, for my part, will smite you for your sins sevenfold.
When I break your staff of bread, ten women will need but one oven for baking your bread, and they shall dole it out to you by weight; and though you eat, you shall not be satisfied.
I will continue in my hostile rage toward you, and I myself will discipline you for your sins sevenfold,
Like the nations which the Lord destroys before you, so shall you too perish for not listening to the voice of the Lord, your God.
