Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 28:16-20

The First Sixfold Curse (Deuteronomy 28:16-20 ). These curses parallel the blessings in Deuteronomy 28:3-6 and must therefore all be seen together. Deuteronomy 28:16-19 ‘Cursed shall you be in the city, And cursed shall you be in the field. Cursed shall be your basket and your kneading-trough. Cursed shall be the fruit of your body, And the fruit of your ground, The increase of your cattle, and the young of your flock. Cursed shall you be when you come in, And cursed shall you be when you go... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:1-68

CRITICAL NOTES.—Moses now enlarges and gives the blessings and curses in detail (cf. Exodus 23:20-23 and Leviticus 26:0.) The blessings are declared in fourteen verses; the curses require nearly four times as many. Thus here again the curse is the more conspicuous feature in the law Speak. Com. Obedience the condition of blessing and this is repeated at beginning (Deuteronomy 28:2) middle (29) and close (Deuteronomy 28:13-14) in positive and energetic form.Deuteronomy 28:1-6. Blessings actual... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:15

Deuteronomy 28:15 I. The curse which Moses foretold was the natural consequence of the sins of the people. The Bible meaning of a curse is simply the natural consequence of men's own ill actions. For even in this life the door of mercy may be shut, and we may cry in vain for mercy when it is the time for justice. This is not merely a doctrine; it is a common, patent fact. Men do wrong and escape again and again the just punishment of their deeds; but how often there are cases in which a man... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 28:1-68

Deuteronomy 28:5 . Blessed shall be thy basket. The LXX read, thy barns and thy store. Deuteronomy 28:24 . The Lord shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust. Our oriental travellers say in succession, that when hurricanes happen in the sandy deserts, they carry the fine sands high in the air, and rain on cities and villages the dust, which penetrates every corner of the houses where the air has access. They often bury camels and asses in the deserts, and form ridges and hills... read more

Deuteronomy 28:15-19If thou wilt not hearken.Blessing and cursing-an Ash Wednesday sermonDoes the Commination Service curse men? Are these good people (who are certainly right in their horror of cursing) right in the accusations which they bring against it? I cannot but think that they mistake when they say that the Commination Service curses men. For to curse a man is to pray that God may vent His anger on the man by punishing him. But I find no such prayer and wish in any word of the... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:15

Deu 28:15 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 shall come upon thee, and overtake thee: Ver. 15. All these curses shall come. ] Far more curses are mentioned than blessings. Such is the baseness of our natures, that we are sooner terrified with menaces than moved with mercies. See we may here how the curse of God haunts the wicked, as it... read more
