The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:8

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:8

The blessing that maketh rich. I. FULL STOREHOUSES , WITHOUT GOD 'S BLESSING , ARE NOT RICHES . God does not count a man rich further than the good things he has are of real and lasting benefit to him. Wealth unblessed of God is not to be desired. 1. Unblessed good is ill ( Ecclesiastes 5:10-15 ). 2. It turns to ill—is not enduring ( Proverbs 13:22 ), takes wings and leaves, is a curse to offspring ( Ecclesiastes 5:14 , Ecclesiastes 5:15 ; Ecclesiastes... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 28:1-14

A comparison of this chapter with Exodus 23:20-23 and Leviticus 26:0 will show how Moses here resumes and amplifies the promises and threats already set forth in the earlier records of the Law. The language rises in this chapter to the sublimest strains, especially in the latter part of it; and the prophecies respecting the dispersion and degradation of the Jewish nation in its later days are among the most remarkable in scripture. They are plain, precise, and circumstantial; and the... read more

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).

"Jehovah will cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thee: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 28:7

Ver. 7. The Lord shall cause thine enemies—to be smitten before thy face— "Upon any invasion from foreign enemies, be their numbers and valour ever so great, God himself will undertake your cause; and so order it, that you shall always come off at last with entire victory:" for, fleeing seven ways imports a total overthrow, which made every man shift for himself, and run straggling hither and thither, without any order or leader, as soldiers do when they are entirely routed. read more
