SCRIPTURE

"then I will walk contrary unto you in wrath; and I also will chastise you seven times for your sins." — Leviticus 26:28 (ASV)

Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury. —While in Leviticus 26:24 the persistent rebellion is responded to on the part of the defied God in the simple words, “then will I also work contrary unto you,” we have here the addition “in fury” as the provocation is more intense.

And I, even I, will chastise you. —Better, And I also will chastise you. The verb here is different from the one in Leviticus 26:24.
