Deuteronomy 28:18-28

18 maledictus fructus ventris tui et fructus terrae tuae armenta boum tuorum et greges ovium tuarum

19 maledictus eris ingrediens et maledictus egrediens

20 mittet Dominus super te famem et esuriem et increpationem in omnia opera tua quae facies donec conterat te et perdat velociter propter adinventiones tuas pessimas in quibus reliquisti me

21 adiungat Dominus tibi pestilentiam donec consumat te de terra ad quam ingredieris possidendam

22 percutiat te Dominus egestate febri et frigore ardore et aestu et aere corrupto ac robigine et persequatur donec pereas

23 sit caelum quod supra te est aeneum et terra quam calcas ferrea

24 det Dominus imbrem terrae tuae pulverem et de caelo descendat super te cinis donec conteraris

25 tradat te Dominus corruentem ante hostes tuos per unam viam egrediaris contra eos et per septem fugias et dispergaris per omnia regna terrae

26 sitque cadaver tuum in escam cunctis volatilibus caeli et bestiis terrae et non sit qui abigat

27 percutiat te Dominus ulcere Aegypti et parte corporis per quam stercora digeruntur scabie quoque et prurigine ita ut curari nequeas

28 percutiat te Dominus amentia et caecitate ac furore mentis

Deuteronomy 28:18-28 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.
