This verse is a particular narrative of what was more generally expressed in the former verse, and all things mentioned herein are very plain. I, your God whom you neglected, called for; commanded or willed, which is call powerful enough to bring together any of his armed soldiers, to punish rebellious and contumacious sinners. Upon the land; either the whole land, or, in distinction to mountains. the lower grounds and valleys. Upon the mountains; which in Canaan were fruitful in pasturage, and rich in vines, and olives, and corn; all which, for want of rain, dried up and withered, languished and came to nothing; so the condition of these people was very desolate, a just punishment for a temple desolate by their negligence. Upon men; the very blood, humours, and constitutions of men were strangely changed hereby, and many diseases afflicted them. Upon cattle; murrain, leanness, and death among the brute beasts. Upon all the labour of the hands; whatever man's industry planted, as trees and plants, were under this curse, and languished, died, and were burnt up.
