Leviticus 26:16-25
16 I, in turn, will do this to you: I will appoint over you a asudden terror, consumption and fever that will waste away the eyes and cause the bsoul to pine away; also, cyou will sow your seed uselessly, for your enemies will eat it up. 17 And I will set My face against you so that you will be defeated before your enemies; and athose who hate you will have dominion over you, and byou will flee when no one is pursuing you. 18 If also after these things you do not obey Me, then I will discipline you aseven times more for your sins. 19 I will also abreak down your pride of strength; I will also give your sky over to become like iron and your earth like bronze. 20 aAnd your power will be spent uselessly, for your land will not give forth its produce and the trees of the land will not give forth their fruit.
21 ‘If then, you awalk in hostility against Me and are unwilling to obey Me, I will increase the plague on you bseven times according to your sins. 22 aAnd I will send out among you the beasts of the field, which will bereave you of your children and cut down your cattle and reduce your number so that byour roads lie desolate.
23 ‘aAnd if by these things you do not accept My discipline, but walk in hostility against Me, 24 then I will awalk in hostility against you; and I, even I, will strike you bseven times for your sins. 25 I will also bring upon you a sword which will execute avengeance for the covenant; and when you gather together into your cities, I will send bpestilence among you so that you shall be given over into enemy hands.
Deuteronomy 28:36-48
36 aYahweh will lead you and your king, whom you set over you, to a nation which neither you nor your fathers have known, and there you shall serve other gods, bwood and stone. 37 aYou shall become an object of horror, a proverb, and a byword among all the people where Yahweh drives you.
38 “aYou shall bring out much seed to the field, but you will gather in little, for bthe locust will consume it. 39 aYou shall plant and cultivate vineyards, but you will neither drink of the wine nor gather the grapes, for the worm will devour them. 40 aYou shall have olive trees throughout your territory, but you will not anoint yourself with the oil, for your olives will drop off. 41 aYou shall become the father of sons and daughters, but they will not be yours, for they will go into captivity. 42 aThe cricket shall possess all your trees and the produce of your ground. 43 aThe sojourner who is among you shall rise above you higher and higher, but you will go down lower and lower. 44 aHe shall lend to you, but you will not lend to him; bhe shall be the head, and you will be the tail.
45 “So all these curses shall come on you and pursue you and overtake you auntil you are destroyed, because you would not listen to the voice of Yahweh your God to keep His commandments and His statutes which He commanded you. 46 And they shall become aa sign and a wonder on you and your seed forever.
47 “aBecause you did not serve Yahweh your God with gladness and a merry heart—because of the abundance of all things, 48 therefore you shall serve your enemies whom Yahweh will send against you, ain hunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in the lack of all things; and He bwill put an iron yoke on your neck until He has destroyed you.
Deuteronomy 28:53
53 aThen you shall eat the offspring of your own body, the flesh of your sons and of your daughters whom Yahweh your God has given you, during the siege and the distress by which your enemy will oppress you.
Jeremiah 19:9
9 I will make them aeat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they will eat one another’s flesh in the siege and in the distress with which their enemies and those who seek their life will distress them.”’
