SEV Biblia, Chapter 28:40

Tendrás olivas en todo tu término, mas no te ungirás con el aceite; porque tu aceituna se caerá.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 40. Thou shalt have olive trees throughout thy coasts , etc.] In the several parts of the land of Canaan, which is therefore called a land of olive oil, ( Deuteronomy 8:8); but thou shalt not anoint [thyself] with the oil ; nor any other relations, friends, guests, as was usual at entertainments; (see Psalm 23:5 Luke 7:38,46); for the phrase “thyself” is not in the text. The reason why they should not anoint is, because they would have no oil to anoint with: for thine olive shall cast [his fruit] ; before it is ripe, by one means or another, as by winds, or blasting and mildew; (see Amos 4:9 Habakkuk 3:17).

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.
