Therefore the curse.] Confirmed by oath, by adjuration, and execration.
Is poured upon us.] As by whole pailfuls. The Vulgate hath it, Stillavit super nos maledictio, The curse hath dropped upon us. There may be much poison in little drops howsoever.
Because we have sinned against him.] This he hath never done with, but still holdeth his finger on this sore, as his greatest grievance.
