Charles Ellicott Commentary
"Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field. Cursed shall be thy basket and thy kneading-trough. Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, the increase of thy cattle, and the young of thy flock. Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out." — Deuteronomy 28:16-19 (ASV)
Cursed... — Here we have the counterpart of Deuteronomy 28:3-6, inclusive. The only difference is in the position of the basket and the store which come one place earlier in the curses than in the blessings.
