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).

14 Don't swerve an inch to the right or left from the words that I command you today by going off following and worshiping other gods.

16 God's curse in the city, God's curse in the country;

17 God's curse on your basket and bread bowl;

18 God's curse on your children, the crops of your land, the young of your livestock, the calves of your herds, the lambs of your flocks.
