Deutéronome 28:15

15 Mais si tu n'obéis point à la voix de l'Eternel, ton Dieu, si tu n'observes pas et ne mets pas en pratique tous ses commandements et toutes ses lois que je te prescris aujourd'hui, voici toutes les malédictions qui viendront sur toi et qui seront ton partage:

Deutéronome 28:15 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 28:15

But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken to the
voice of the Lord thy God
As directed, exhorted, and encouraged to, ( Deuteronomy 28:1 )

to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes, which I
command thee this day;
both moral and ceremonial:

that all these curses shall come upon thee;
from the hand of God, certainly, suddenly, and unawares:

and overtake thee;
pursuing after thee, will come up to thee, and seize upon thee, though they may seem to move slowly; see ( Zechariah 5:3 Zechariah 5:4 ) ; namely, the curses which follow. Manasseh Ben Israel ^F6 divides them into two parts, the first from hence to ( Deuteronomy 28:45 ) ; which respects the destruction of the first temple, and the things that went before or related to that; and the second from thence to the end of the chapter, which he thinks refers to the destruction of the second temple, and their present case and circumstances; and it must be owned that for the most part the distinction may seem to hold good; what is prophesied of that should befall the Jews for their disobedience being more remarkably and distinctly fulfilled in the one than in the other; yet there are things in the whole which respect both, or that were fulfilled, some under one dispensation, and some under another, and some that were fulfilled in both; but chiefly and more manifestly at and since their dispersion by the Romans.

Deutéronome 28:15 In-Context

13 L'Eternel fera de toi la tête et non la queue, tu seras toujours en haut et tu ne seras jamais en bas, lorsque tu obéiras aux commandements de l'Eternel, ton Dieu, que je te prescris aujourd'hui, lorsque tu les observeras et les mettras en pratique,

14 et que tu ne te détourneras ni à droite ni à gauche de tous les commandements que je vous donne aujourd'hui, pour aller après d'autres dieux et pour les servir.

15 Mais si tu n'obéis point à la voix de l'Eternel, ton Dieu, si tu n'observes pas et ne mets pas en pratique tous ses commandements et toutes ses lois que je te prescris aujourd'hui, voici toutes les malédictions qui viendront sur toi et qui seront ton partage:

16 Tu seras maudit dans la ville, et tu seras maudit dans les champs.

17 Ta corbeille et ta huche seront maudites.
