John Gill Commentary Deuteronomy 28:16

"Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field." — Deuteronomy 28:16 (ASV)

Cursed [shall] you [be] in the city, and cursed [shall] you [be] in the field. ] In (Deuteronomy 28:16–19) the curses are delivered out in form, as the reverse of the blessings in (Deuteronomy 28:3–6); and by observing what the blessings mean, the sense of the curses may easily be understood, the one being directly opposite to the other. (See Gill on Deuteronomy 28:3).
