15 "1But it shall come about, if you do not obey * the LORD your God, to observe to do all His commandments and His statutes with which I charge you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you:
16 "2Cursed shall you be in the city, and cursed shall you be in the country.
17 "3Cursed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl.
18 "4Cursed shall be the offspring of your body and the produce of your ground, the increase of your herd and the young of your flock.
19 "5Cursed shall you be when you come in, and cursed shall you be when you go out.
20 "6The LORD will send upon you curses, confusion, and 7rebuke, in all you undertake to do, until you are destroyed and until 8you perish quickly, on account * of the evil of your deeds, because you have forsaken Me.
21 "9The LORD will make the pestilence cling to you until He has consumed you from the land where * you are entering to possess it.
22 "10The LORD will smite you with consumption and with fever and with inflammation and with fiery heat and with the sword and 11with blight and with mildew, and they will pursue you until 12you perish.
23 "The heaven which is over your head shall be bronze, and the earth which is under you, iron.
24 "13The LORD will make the rain of your land powder and dust; from heaven it shall come down on you until you are destroyed.

Deuteronomy 28:15-24 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.
