Deuteronomy 28:43-45

43 The foreigner who lives among you will climb the ladder, higher and higher, while you go deeper and deeper into the hole.

44 He'll lend to you; you won't lend to him. He'll be the head; you'll be the tail.

45 All these curses are going to come on you. They're going to hunt you down and get you until there's nothing left of you because you didn't obediently listen to the Voice of God, your God, and diligently keep his commandments and guidelines that I commanded you.

Deuteronomy 28:43-45 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.
