Deuteronomy 28:38-39

38 You might scatter a lot of seed on the field, but you will gather almost nothing because the locusts will eat it all.

39 You might plant lots of vineyards and work hard in them, but you won't drink any wine or harvest the grapes because worms will devour them.

Deuteronomy 28:38-39 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.
