Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Deuteronomy 28:11

John Gill on Deuteronomy 28:11

John Calvin on Deuteronomy 28:1-14

Deuteronomy 28:1-14 1. And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: 1. Et erit, si audiendo audieris vocem Jehovae Dei tui, ut custodias ad faciendum omnia praecepta ejus quae ego paecipio tibi hodie: tunc constituet to Jehova Deus tuus superiorem onmibus gentibus terrae. 2. And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God. 2. Et venient super to omnes benedictiones istae, apprehendentque te, si modo obedieris voci Jehov…
