Deuteronômio 28:45-46 NVT

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:45-68

The remoter consequences of rebellion. The evil if uncured aggravates itself—develops new symptoms; and as the evil grows, so misery increases likewise. The man of God foresees a yet further stage of misery in the distant future. His predictions of woe plainly point to the domination of the Roman eagles, and to the miseries consequent upon the final dispersion of the Jews. To the eye of God's prophet the long procession of coming woes is clearly revealed—a series of miseries stretching... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:46

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 28:45

Deuteronomy 28:45. Moreover, all these curses Here some critics have made a division of these prophecies, and have interpreted the preceding part as relating to the former captivity of the Jews, and the calamities which they suffered under the Chaldeans; and the remaining part as referring to their latter captivity, and the calamities which they suffered under the Romans. But “there is no need,” says Bishop Newton, “of any such distinction; there is no reason to think any such was intended... read more

Deuteronomy 28:46. They (these curses now mentioned) shall be upon thee for a sign This, indeed, they have been in a most wonderful and astonishing manner.

Ver. 45-48. Moreover, all these curses shall come upon thee— "These instances of divine vengeance will fall upon you, one after another; ever keeping pace with, and bearing proportion to, your obstinacy and disobedience; till at last, the miseries you undergo, in your own and in foreign countries, will render your nation the most lasting and dreadful example of divine vengeance and just indignation upon a people, uneasy under the gentle yoke, the laws and protection of God himself; ungrateful... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 28:15-68

D. The curses that follow disobedience to general stipulations 28:15-68In this section Moses identified about four times as many curses as he had listed previous blessings (Deuteronomy 28:1-14). The lists of curses in other ancient Near Eastern treaty texts typically were longer than the lists of blessings. [Note: Gordon J. Wenham, "The Structure and Date of Deuteronomy" (Ph.D. dissertation, University of London, 1969), p. 161.] The reason was probably to stress the seriousness of violating the... read more
