Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Deuteronomy 28:16-19

(16-19) Cursed. . . .—Here we have the counterpart of Deuteronomy 28:3-6, inclusive. The only difference is in the position of “the basket and the store” which come one place earlier in the curses than in the blessings. read more

MOSES’ FAREWELL SPEECHESDeuteronomy 4:1-40, Deuteronomy 27:1-26; Deuteronomy 28:1-68; Deuteronomy 29:1-29; Deuteronomy 30:1-20.WITH the twenty-sixth chapter the entirely homogeneous central portion of the Book of Deuteronomy ends, and it concludes it most worthily. It prescribes two ceremonies which are meant to give solemn expression to the feeling of thankfulness which the love of God, manifested in so many laws and precepts, covering the commonest details of life, should have made the... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Deuteronomy 28:1-68

24. The Blessing and the Curse CHAPTER 28 1. The blessing promised (Deuteronomy 28:1-14 ) 2. The curse announced (Deuteronomy 28:15-68 ) This is one of the most solemn chapters in the Pentateuch. Orthodox Hebrews read in their synagogues each year through the entire five books of Moses. When they read this chapter, the Rabbi reads in a subdued voice. And well may they read it softly and ponder over it, for here is prewritten the sad and sorrowful history of that wonderful nation. Here... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 28:1-68

FROM MOUNT GERIZIM -- BLESSINGS (vs.1-14) Though Chapter 28 does not say that these blessings were pronounced from Mount Gerizim, yet Chapter 27:12 indicates this. But the blessings were prefaced; by the conditions of verse 1. They would be effective only if Israel diligently obeyed the voice of the Lord, observing carefully all His commandments. If so, God would set them high above all nations, and all the blessings that follow would come upon them (v.2). They would be blessed in the city... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:1-68

PROPHECY OF ISRAEL ’S FUTURE As we approach the conclusion of this book we come to its most important part from a prophetic point of view indeed the present lesson contains (chap. 28) a foreview of Israel’s history to the end of the present age, in some respects unparalleled in the Bible, although touched upon in Leviticus (Deut. 26:26), as we saw. STONES FOR THE LAW AND STONE FOR AN ALTAR (Deuteronomy 27:1-8 ) What should they do when they crossed the Jordan (Deuteronomy 27:2 )? How... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:15-19

Very awful are these denunciations. Wherever the sinner goes, however he is circumstanced, however employed in the midst of the greatest temporal possessions, the basket may be full, the wine presses running over with new wine; yet, if the curse of GOD be upon the whole, they are of no value; misery is in all, Reader! pause over this account; and them look into life. Doth not this explain to us, why we see so many miserable in the midst of affluence? "To the pure, " saith the apostle, "all... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:15

All these curses, &c. Thus God dealt with the transgressors of his law in the Old Testament: but now he often suffers sinners to prosper in this world, rewarding them for some little good they have done, and reserving their punishment for the other world. read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 28:15-44

15-44 If we do not keep God's commandments, we not only come short of the blessing promised, but we lay ourselves under the curse, which includes all misery, as the blessing all happiness. Observe the justice of this curse. It is not a curse causeless, or for some light cause. The extent and power of this curse. Wherever the sinner goes, the curse of God follows; wherever he is, it rests upon him. Whatever he has is under a curse. All his enjoyments are made bitter; he cannot take any true... read more

But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord, thy God, to observe to do all His commandments and His statutes which I command thee this day, that all these curses, namely, those enumerated in the second part of the Chapter, shall come upon thee and overtake thee, like the victorious enemies seeking to take as many captives as possible. v. 16.
