Leviticus 26:27-33

[27] And if ye will not for all this  hearken  unto me, but walk  contrary  unto me; [28] Then I will walk  contrary  unto you also in fury;  and I, even  I, will chastise  you seven times  for your sins.  [29] And ye shall eat  the flesh  of your sons,  and the flesh  of your daughters  shall ye eat.  [30] And I will destroy  your high places,  and cut down  your images,  and cast  your carcases  of your idols,  and my soul  shall abhor  [31] And I will make  your cities  waste,  your sanctuaries  unto desolation,  and I will not smell  the savour  of your sweet odours.  [32] the land  into desolation:  and your enemies  which dwell  therein shall be astonished  at it. [33] And I will scatter  you among the heathen,  and will draw out  a sword  after  you: and your land  shall be desolate,  and your cities  waste.
