Leviticus 26:25

²³ 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.

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.

²⁶ When I cut off your supply of bread, ten women will bake your bread in a single oven and dole out your bread by weight, so that you will eat but not be satisfied.

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

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.
