Leviticus 26:27–31 · Berean Standard Bible

27 But if in spite of all this you do not obey Me, but continue to walk in hostility toward Me,

28 then I will walk in fury against you, and I, even I, will punish you sevenfold for your sins.

29 You will eat the flesh of your own sons and daughters.

30 I will destroy your high places, cut down your incense altars, and heap your lifeless bodies on the lifeless remains of your idols; and My soul will despise you.

31 I will reduce your cities to rubble and lay waste your sanctuaries, and I will refuse to smell the pleasing aroma of your sacrifices.
