SEV Biblia, Chapter 28:38

Sacarás mucha simiente a la tierra, y cogerás poco; porque la langosta lo consumirá.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 38. Thou shall carry much seed into the field , etc.] And sow it plentifully; this and what is said in some following verses plainly refer to them while in their own land, before carried captive, and not to their present case and circumstances: and shall gather [but] little in at harvest ; little springing up, or not coming to perfection, being blighted and blasted, and so yielded but a small crop; (see Haggai 1:9); and chiefly for the following reason: for the locust shall consume it ; which is a great destroyer of the fruits of the earth; (see Joel 1:4).

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.
