SEV Biblia, Chapter 11:17
y se encienda el furor del SEÑOR sobre vosotros, y cierre los cielos, y no haya lluvia, ni la tierra dé su fruto, y perezcáis presto de la buena tierra que os da el SEÑOR.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 17. And then the Lord’s wrath be kindled against you , etc.] For their idolatry, nothing being more provoking to him than that, it being contrary to his nature and being, as well as to his will, and to his honour and glory: and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain ; the treasures and storehouses of it there, or the windows of it, the clouds, which when opened let it down, but when shut withhold it; the key of rain is one of the keys which the Jews say the Lord keeps in his own hand, and with it he opens and no man shuts, and shuts and no man opens; (see Deuteronomy 28:12 Malachi 3:10) and that the land yield not her fruit ; which is unavoidably the case when rain is withheld: and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the Lord giveth you ; for if the land does not yield its fruits sufficient to support the inhabitants of it, they must in course perish.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 8-17 - Moses sets before them, for the future, life and death, the blessin and the curse, according as they did or did not keep God's commandment Sin tends to shorten the days of all men, and to shorten the days of people's prosperity. God will bless them with an abundance of all goo things, if they would love him and serve him. Godliness has the promis of the life that now is; but the favour of God shall put gladness int the heart, more than the increase of corn, and wine, and oil. Revol from God to idols would certainly be their ruin. Take heed that you hearts be not deceived. All who forsake God to set their affection upo any creature, will find themselves wretchedly deceived, to their ow destruction; and this will make it worse, that it was for want of taking heed.
