The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:49-50

The description here given of the enemy to whom Israel was to be subjected, applies more or less closely to all the nations whom God raised up from time to time, to invade Israel and chastise the people for their rebellion—the Chaldeans (cf. Jeremiah 48:40 ; Jeremiah 49:22 ; Ezekiel 17:5-7 ; Habakkuk 1:6 , etc.), the Assyrians (cf. Isaiah 5:26 ; Isaiah 38:11 ; Isaiah 23:1-18 :19), the Medes ( Isaiah 13:17 , Isaiah 13:18 ); but there are features in the description which apply... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:49-59

The extremity of the curse. A truly appalling description of the evils which would overtake apostate Israel; one, too, not more remarkable for the sustained vehemence and energy of its thought and diction, than for the minuteness and literality with which its predictions have been fulfilled. I. THE PROPHECY IN THE LIGHT OF ITS FULFILLMENT . The wonderfulness of these predictions is not removed by any date we may assign to the Book of Deuteronomy. For: 1. It is... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 28:49

Deuteronomy 28:49. The Lord shall bring a nation against thee from far “The Chaldeans might be said to come from far, in comparison of the Moabites, Philistines, and other neighbouring nations, which used to infest Judea.” See Jeremiah 5:15; Jeremiah 6:22. And they are represented as pursuing them with the swiftness of eagles, Lamentations 4:19. But the Romans, no doubt, were chiefly intended. “They were truly brought ‘from far, from the end of the earth;’ Vespasian and Adrian, the two... read more

Deuteronomy 28:50. A nation of a fierce countenance Such were the Chaldeans, who, according to the historian, “slew the young men” of the Jews “in the house of the sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man or him that stooped for age.” Such also were the Romans, who, Josephus says, when they entered Gadera, showed mercy to no age, out of hatred to the nation, and remembrance of former injuries.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:1-68

Obedience and disobedience (28:1-68)Further blessings and curses are now listed. These were connected more with the life of the people as a whole and were directly dependent on the people’s obedience or disobedience. The blessings mainly concerned agricultural prosperity, family happiness, victory over enemies and honour in the eyes of other nations (28:1-10). God’s assurance that he would supply their needs was linked to a warning. They were not to look for family increase or agricultural... read more
