Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.

then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will smite you, even I, sevenfold for your sins.

then I have walked, I also, with you in opposition, and have smitten you, even I, seven times for your sins;

Then I will go against you, and I will give you punishment, I myself, seven times for all your sins.

likewise, I will advance against you as an adversary, and I will strike you seven times, because of your sins.

Ambulabo etiam ego vobiscum fortuito, et percutiam vos quoque septuplo propter peccata vestra:

Then I will also walk contrary unto you,.... Opposing himself unto them as their enemy, fighting against them in his providence, whetting his sword, bending his bow, and causing the arrows of his wrath and vengeance to fall upon them; or behaving towards them in a careless and indifferent manner, not regarding what befell them, showing no peculiar concern for them, or as exercising any particular providence over them; but as if everything came by chance to them, which was the language of their actions, if not of their lips:
and will punish you yet seven times for your sins; add fresh corrections, and these greater than before, and more numerous in proportion to their aggravated transgressions.
