That goeth forth; that goeth speedily, for it flieth. Over the face of the whole earth; either the whole land of Judea, or over all the world; wherever these sins are found, this curse will come upon the sinners, unless they repent. Every one that stealeth: theft is here first mentioned, a sin that had abounded among them, and front which they were not free then; they robbed one another, and they robbed God, they were sacrilegious. Shall be cut off; shall be punished with an extermination of his house, as well as with cutting off his life. According to it; according to the just threats of the law. Every one that sweareth, profanely, or falsely, the perjured person, shall be cut off too.
