Leviticus

Leviticus 26:21–24

²¹If you walk in hostility toward Me and refuse to obey Me, I will multiply your plagues seven times, according to your sins. ²²I will send wild animals against you to rob you of your children, destroy your livestock, and reduce your numbers, until your roads lie desolate.

²³And if in spite of these things you do not accept My discipline, but continue to walk in hostility toward Me, ²⁴then I will act with hostility toward you, and I will strike you sevenfold for your sins.
