The curses in this chapter reveal that in His judgment God is severe (Rom. 11:22). All the curses that have befallen the children of Israel have carried out God’s governmental dealings in relation to them, so that through these dealings God would eventually be able to accomplish His economy with them to prove that He is the very God who would not change in His will forever. In His governmental dealing with His people, God is wise, loving, sympathetic, patient, purposeful, and successful. God’s severe chastisement of the children of Israel does not mean that He has given them up (Rom. 11:1-5, 11-12, 23-32). On the contrary, God is chastising them for their perfecting. The principle is the same with the New Testament believers (Heb. 12:5-11).
