Deuteronomy 28:14-24

14 ac non declinaveris ab eis nec ad dextram nec ad sinistram nec secutus fueris deos alienos neque colueris eos

15 quod si audire nolueris vocem Domini Dei tui ut custodias et facias omnia mandata eius et caerimonias quas ego praecipio tibi hodie venient super te omnes maledictiones istae et adprehendent te

16 maledictus eris in civitate maledictus in agro

17 maledictum horreum tuum et maledictae reliquiae tuae

18 maledictus fructus ventris tui et fructus terrae tuae armenta boum tuorum et greges ovium tuarum

19 maledictus eris ingrediens et maledictus egrediens

20 mittet Dominus super te famem et esuriem et increpationem in omnia opera tua quae facies donec conterat te et perdat velociter propter adinventiones tuas pessimas in quibus reliquisti me

21 adiungat Dominus tibi pestilentiam donec consumat te de terra ad quam ingredieris possidendam

22 percutiat te Dominus egestate febri et frigore ardore et aestu et aere corrupto ac robigine et persequatur donec pereas

23 sit caelum quod supra te est aeneum et terra quam calcas ferrea

24 det Dominus imbrem terrae tuae pulverem et de caelo descendat super te cinis donec conteraris

Deuteronomy 28:14-24 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.
