Curses for Disobedience
15 However, if you do not obey the LORD your God and do not carefully follow all his commands and decrees I am giving you today, all these curses will come on you and overtake you:
16
You will be cursed in the city and cursed in the country.
17
Your basket and your kneading trough will be cursed.
18
The fruit of your womb will be cursed, and the crops of your land, and the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.
19
You will be cursed when you come in and cursed when you go out.
Deuteronomy 28:15-19 Meaning and Commentary
INTRODUCTION TO DEUTERONOMY 28
In this chapter Moses enlarges on the blessings and the curses which belong, the one to the doers, the other to the transgressors of the law; the blessings, De 28:1-14; the curses, some of which concern individual persons, others the whole nation and body of people, and that both under the former and present dispensations, and which had their fulfilment in their former captivities, and more especially in their present dispersion, De 28:15-68.
