And when I have broken the staff of your
bread: that ten wives shall bake your bread in one oven and men
shall deliver you your bread again by weight, then shall ye eat
and shall not be satisfied. And if ye will not yet for all this
hearken unto me, but shall walk contrary unto me, then I will walk
contrary unto you also wrathfully, and will also chastise you
seven times for your sins: so that ye shall eat the flesh of your
sons and the flesh of your daughters. And I will destroy your
altars built upon high hills, and overthrow your images, and cast
your carcasses upon the bodies of your idols, and my soul shall
abhor you. And I will make your cities desolate, and bring your
sanctuaries unto nought, and will not smell the savours of your
sweet odours. And I will bring the land unto a wilderness: so that
your enemies which dwell therein shall wonder at it. And I will
straw you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you,
and your land shall be waste, and your cities desolate. Then the
land shall rejoice in her Sabbaths, as long as it lieth void and
ye in your enemies' land: even then shall the land keep holy day
and rejoice in her Sabbaths. And as long as it lieth void it shall
rest, for that it could not rest in your Sabbaths, when ye dwelt
therein.
