John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Deuteronomy 28:3

In the city, and in the field — Whether they were husbandmen or tradesmen, whether in the town or country, they should be preserved from the dangers of both, and have the comforts of both. How constantly must we depend upon God, both for the continuance and comfort of life! We need him at every turn: we cannot be safe, if he withdraw his protection, nor easy, if he suspends his savour: but if he bless us, go where we will, 'tis well with us.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Deuteronomy 28:3

Blessed [shalt] thou [be] in the (c) city, and blessed [shalt] thou [be] in the field.

(c) You will live richly.
