Leviticus 26:23

21 If you walk in hostility toward Me and refuse to obey Me, I will multiply your plagues seven times, according to your sins.

22 I will send wild animals against you to rob you of your children, destroy your livestock, and reduce your numbers, until your roads lie desolate.

And if in spite of these things you do not accept My discipline, but continue to walk in hostility toward Me,

24 then I will act with hostility toward you, and I will strike you sevenfold for your sins.

25 And I will bring a sword against you to execute the vengeance of the covenant. Though you withdraw into your cities, I will send a plague among you, and you will be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
