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 comfort in them, for the wrath of God mixes itself with them. Many judgments are here stated, which would be the fruits of the curse, and with which God would punish the people of the Jews, for their apostacy and disobedience. We may observe the fulfilling of these threatenings in their present state. To complete their misery, it is threatened that by these troubles they should be bereaved of all comfort and hope, and left to utter despair. Those who walk by sight, and not by faith, are in danger of losing reason itself, when every thing about them looks frightful.The curses correspond in form and number Deuteronomy 28:15-19 to the blessings Deuteronomy 28:3-6, and the special modes in which these threats should be executed are described in five groups of denunciations Deuteronomy 28:20-68.15-20. But … if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord—Curses that were to follow them in the event of disobedience are now enumerated, and they are almost exact counterparts of the blessings which were described in the preceding context as the reward of a faithful adherence to the covenant. No text from Poole on this verse. Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. See Gill on Deuteronomy 28:4, Deuteronomy 28:16. Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. EXEGETICAL (ORIGINAL LANGUAGES) Deuteronomy 28:18Deuteronomy 28:16-19 correspond precisely to Deuteronomy 28:3-6, so as to set forth the curse as the counterpart of the blessing, except that the basket and kneading-trough are mentioned before the fruit of the body.Links Deuteronomy 28:18 InterlinearDeuteronomy 28:18 Parallel Texts Deuteronomy 28:18 NIV Deuteronomy 28:18 NLT Deuteronomy 28:18 ESV Deuteronomy 28:18 NASB Deuteronomy 28:18 KJV Deuteronomy 28:18 Bible Apps Deuteronomy 28:18 Parallel Deuteronomy 28:18 Biblia Paralela Deuteronomy 28:18 Chinese Bible Deuteronomy 28:18 French Bible Deuteronomy 28:18 German Bible Bible Hub |
