Leviticus

Leviticus 26:23–28

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. ²⁵And I will bring a sword against you to execute the vengeance of the covenant. Though you withdraw into your cities, I will send a plague among you, and you will be delivered into the hand of the enemy. ²⁶When I cut off your supply^d of bread, ten women will bake your bread in a single oven and dole out your bread by weight, so that you will eat but not be satisfied.

²⁷But if in spite of all this you do not obey Me, but continue to walk in hostility toward Me, ²⁸then I will walk in fury against you, and I, even I, will punish you sevenfold for your sins.
