Leviticus 26:26

Punishment For Disobedience

²⁵ And I will bring a sword upon you that avengeth with the vengeance of the covenant, and ye shall be gathered together into your cities, and I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy. ²⁶ When I break the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and shall deliver you the bread again by weight; and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied. ²⁷ And if for this ye hearken not to me, but walk contrary unto me,
