Deuternomium 28:38-39

38 Viel Samen wirst du aufs Feld hinausführen; aber du wirst wenig einsammeln, denn die Heuschrecke wird ihn abfressen.

39 Weinberge wirst du pflanzen und bauen; aber Wein wirst du weder trinken noch einsammeln, denn der Wurm wird sie fressen.

Deuternomium 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.
