Context — Punishments for Disobedience
25And 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.
26When 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.
27But if in spite of all this you do not obey Me, but continue to walk in hostility toward Me,
28then I will walk in fury against you, and I, even I, will punish you sevenfold for your sins. 29You will eat the flesh of your own sons and daughters.Cross References

Leviticus 26:27 Summary
[Leviticus 26:27 is a warning from God to His people that if they continue to disobey and rebel against Him, despite His warnings and discipline, they will face severe consequences. This verse reminds us that our choices have consequences, and that God desires our obedience and love. As stated in Deuteronomy 30:19, we have the choice to obey God and live, or to disobey and face the consequences. By choosing to obey God and follow His commands, we can avoid walking in hostility toward Him and instead experience His love, mercy, and blessings, as seen in Psalm 103:8-14.]

Gill's Exposition on Leviticus 26:27
And if ye for all this will not hearken unto me,.... To his commands, and to his prophets sent unto them time after time, and all his corrections and chastisements being ineffectual to reform them,
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Leviticus 26:27
And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me; No JFB commentary on these verses.
Trapp's Commentary on Leviticus 26:27
Leviticus 26:27 And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me;Ver. 27. But walk contrary unto me.] Or, At all adventures with me.
Ellicott's Commentary on Leviticus 26:27
(27) And if he will not for all this hearken unto me.—Better, And if, notwithstanding these, ye will not hearken unto me, that is, if in spite of these awful punishments they persist in rebellion against God. With this reiterated formula the fifth warning is introduced (Leviticus 26:27-33), which threatens the total destruction of the land and the people in the midst of the most appalling horrors.
