Deuteronomy 28:16 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 28:16

Cursed [shalt] thou [be] in the city, and cursed [shalt] thou
[be] in the field.
] In ( Deuteronomy 28:16-19 ) the curses are delivered out in form, as the reverse of the blessings in ( Deuteronomy 28:3-6 ) ; and by observing what the blessings mean, the sense of the curses may easily be understood, the one being directly opposite to the other. (See Gill on Deuteronomy 28:3).
