Leviticus 26:18-20 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

Reader, remark how graciously, even in punishment, the LORD deals with his people. He doth not give them up; but calls upon them with a louder call, and by more alarming providences. He makes all nature to be at variance with them. Reader! it is highly profitable to see the LORD'S hand in all the LORD'S appointments. David here again instructs. When Shimei came forth against him, David saw that the trial was of the LORD; so let him curse, said David, for the LORD hath said. 2 Samuel 16:10. Reader! it is a sure mark of grace in lively exercise, when in our troubles we lie low at the foot of the cross, and open not our mouth in a way of justification. Psalms 39:9.

Leviticus 26:18-20

18 And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.

19 And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:

20 And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.
