SEV Biblia, Chapter 28:15
¶ Y será, si no oyeres la voz del SEÑOR tu Dios, para guardar, para poner por obra todos sus mandamientos y sus estatutos, que yo te mando hoy, que vendrán sobre ti todas estas maldiciones, y te alcanzarán.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 15. But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God , etc.] As directed, exhorted, and encouraged to, ( Deuteronomy 28:1), etc. to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day ; both moral and ceremonial: that all these curses shall come upon thee ; from the hand of God, certainly, suddenly, and unawares: and overtake thee ; pursuing after thee, will come up to thee, and seize upon thee, though they may seem to move slowly; (see Zechariah 5:3,4); namely, the curses which follow. Manasseh Ben Israel divides them into two parts, the first from hence to ( Deuteronomy 28:45); which respects the destruction of the first temple, and the things that went before or related to that; and the second from thence to the end of the chapter, which he thinks refers to the destruction of the second temple, and their present case and circumstances; and it must be owned that for the most part the distinction may seem to hold good; what is prophesied of that should befall the Jews for their disobedience being more remarkably and distinctly fulfilled in the one than in the other; yet there are things in the whole which respect both, or that were fulfilled, some under one dispensation, and some under another, and some that were fulfilled in both; but chiefly and more manifestly at and since their dispersion by the Romans.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 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 include all misery, as the blessing all happiness. Observe the justice of thi curse. It is not a curse causeless, or for some light cause. The exten 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 curse. All his enjoyments are made bitter; he cannot take any tru comfort in them, for the wrath of God mixes itself with them. Man judgments are here stated, which would be the fruits of the curse, an with which God would punish the people of the Jews, for their apostac and disobedience. We may observe the fulfilling of these threatening in their present state. To complete their misery, it is threatened tha by these troubles they should be bereaved of all comfort and hope, an left to utter despair. Those who walk by sight, and not by faith, ar in danger of losing reason itself, when every thing about them look frightful.
