16I also will do this unto you: I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and fever, which shall cause the eyes to fail, and the soul to waste away; and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
17And I will set my face against you, that ye may be routed before your enemies: they that hate you shall have dominion over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.
18And if for this ye hearken not unto me, I will punish you sevenfold more for your sins,
19and I will break the arrogance of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron and your earth as bronze;
20and your strength shall be spent in vain; and your land shall not yield its produce, and the trees of the land shall not yield their fruit.

21{i}And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles have befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed; for I know their imagination which they are forming already this day, before I bring them into the land which I have sworn unto them.{/i}
