Tradition attributes the authorship of the Book of Deuteronomy to Moses, but scholars attribute the book, or most of it (including chapter 28), to an anonymous author now known as the Deuteronomist, writing during the seventh-century-BCE reign of King Josiah in Jerusalem.

Leading up to chapter 28 is a list of commands to be followed. The first part of chapter 28 offers blessings to those who follow those commandments, then the second half of the chapter is a matching list of curses for those failing to do so (from 28:16: Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field ...).

Who was Deuteronomy chapter 28 speaking to?

The word 'deuteronomy means "repetition of the law" after 40 years when the people were about to enter Canaan, and Moses was reminding them of their history: although he was talking then specifically to physical Israelites, it also applies since then and today to Jews and spiritual Israelites as well, and Chapters 28 & 29 (the Blessings and Cursings chapters) apply to everyone else as well even if they are not Jewish or christian at all.
