And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, etc.] Accursed in body and estate, in basket and store; in their families, flocks, and herds; within doors and without; in city, and country; going out, or coming in; in this world, and that to come, if divine goodness prevent not; (see <052815>Deuteronomy 28:15-20 29:20) but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day; which the law he gave them, and repeated to them, directed them to walk in: to go after other gods, which ye have not known; to serve and worship the gods of other nations, strange gods, which neither they nor their fathers knew anything of, or ever received any good thing from; and which indeed are no gods, and nothing in the world, as an idol is.
