Chacham Rabbeinu Chayim ben Attar zt”l (Ohr HaChayim HaKadosh) would say: “'והיה אם לא תשמע בקול ה' - The curses detailed in Parshas Bechukosai are written in plural, while those in our parsha are expressed in the singular. The punishments mentioned previously are national in nature and will only transpire if the entire nation engages in sinful activities. For this reason, they are written in the plural. Our parsha, on the other hand, is expressed in the singular, as it addresses individuals who sin even at a time when the nation as a whole is behaving properly.”
A Wise Man would say: “Those who lack courage will always find a philosophy to justify it.”
