A commentator

Matthew Henry

1662–1714

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

"I will walk at all adventures with you," so some read; "all covenant loving-kindness shall be forgotten, and I will leave you to common providence." Note, Those that cast off God deserve that he should cast them off. (3.) As they continued obstinate, the judgments should increase yet more upon them.

This site's exposition

And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things

on Leviticus 26:23-24

Reformed is the word that gives the passage its aim. The judgments are set out as correction with a purpose, and the escalation happens because the correction is refused. Andrew Bonar reads the rounds as discipline meant to bring the nation back, and Calvin makes the same point from the fact that each stage is announced in advance.
