Leviticus 26:26

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.

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,

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

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.
