Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Deuteronomy 28:49

"Jehovah will bring against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand; a nation of fierce countenance, that shall not regard the person of the old, nor show favor to the young, and shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy ground, until thou be destroyed; that also shall not leave the grain, new wine, or oil, the increase of thy cattle, or the young of thy flock, until they have caused thee to perish. And they... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 28:49

Ver. 49. The Lord shall bring a nation against thee from far—swift as the eagle—whose tongue thou shalt not understand— "The Chaldeans might be said to come from far, in comparison with the Moabites, Philistines, and other neighbours, who used to infest Judea. Much the same description is given of the Chaldeans by Jer 5:15 who, in like manner, compares them to eagles. Lamentations 4:19. But this description cannot be applied to any nation with such propriety, as to the Romans. They were truly... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 28:50

Ver. 50. A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard, &c.— Such were the Chaldeans. The sacred historian, 2Ch 36:17 expressly declares, that, for the wickedness of the Jews, God brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who slew their young men—and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age; but gave them all into his hand. Such also were the Romans; for when Vespasian entered Gedara, as Josephus informs us, "he slew all, man by man, the... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 28:49

49. The Lord shall bring a nation against thee from far—the invasion of the Romans—"they came from far." The soldiers of the invading army were taken from France, Spain, and Britain—then considered "the end of the earth." Julius Severus, the commander, afterwards Vespasian and Hadrian, left Britain for the scene of contest. Moreover, the ensign on the standards of the Roman army was "an eagle"; and the dialects spoken by the soldiers of the different nations that composed that army were... 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

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 28:1-68

The Blessing and the CurseThis chapter properly follows Deuteronomy 26:19, and concludes the second discourse. It enforces the injunctions given, by exhibiting the blessings associated with the keeping of them, and the curses entailed upon disobedience.1-14. The Blessings for Obedience.5.
