Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(38-42) These are the contrary to Deuteronomy 28:11; and Deuteronomy 28:44 is the contrary to Deuteronomy 28:12-13. From the order of the passage it might seem that these particular troubles were to come on Israel after their captivity. And perhaps it is not accidental that something very like a fulfilment of Deuteronomy 28:38-40 is found in Haggai 1:6-11. (Comp. also Isaiah 5:10, "Ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of an homer shall yield an ephah.") . . .
