The basket that held blessed abundance now becomes cursed. Stored provisions fail. What was gathered does not remain; what was preserved wastes. This is the reversal of verse 5: the disobedient see their work consumed or ruined.
The curse targets the same security the blessing promised. The people experience want despite labor, seeing their efforts systematically fail.
