IF ye will not hearken unto me sayeth the Lord nor keep my commandments, but despise them. &c. then will I do this again unto you. I will set my face against you, and ye shall fall before your enemies, and they that hate you, shall reign over ⟨image 125⟩you. I will make the heaven over you as hard iron, and your land as hard as bras. I will send my wild beasts upon you which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle. I will send a sword up on you that shall avenge my Testament with you. I will send the pestilence among you. Read the Chapter to the end.
