Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:45-68

One would have thought that enough had been said to possess them with a dread of that wrath of God which is revealed from heaven against the ungodliness and unrighteousness of men. But to show how deep the treasures of that wrath are, and that still there is more and worse behind, Moses, when one would have thought that he had concluded this dismal subject, begins again, and adds to this roll of curses many similar words: as Jeremiah did to his, Jer. 36:32. It should seem that in the former... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:49

The Lord shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth ,.... Now though Babylon is represented as a country distant from Judea, and said to be a nation "from far", Jeremiah 5:15 ; yet not "from the end of the earth"; as here; and though the Roman nation, strictly speaking, was not at so great a distance from Jerusalem, yet the Roman emperors, and great part of their armies brought against it, were fetched from our island of Great Britain, which in former times was... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:50

A nation of fierce countenance ,.... Or, "strong of face" F25 עז פנים "fortem faciebus", Montanus; "robustam facie", Vatablus. ; which aptly describes the old Romans, who are always represented as such; and whereas it is said of the Chaldeans, that they were a nation dreadful and terrible, Habakkuk 1:7 ; the same is said of the fourth beast, or Roman empire, Daniel 7:7 ; who were a terror to all the world: which shall not regard the person of the old, nor show favour to the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:51

And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle ,.... Larger and lesser, oxen and sheep, as their calves and lambs, and kids of the goat: and the fruit of thy land ; their wheat, barley, figs, grapes, pomegranates, olives, and dates: until thou be destroyed ; the land of Judea, and all the increase of it: this being before said, Deuteronomy 28:31 ; and here repeated, shows that the same should be fulfilled at different times, as by the Chaldeans, so by the Romans; whose nation, or army,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:52

And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates ,.... That is, in all their cities and walled towns, which had gates and bars for security: until thy high and fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst , throughout all thy land ; the Jews had several cities well fenced and strongly fortified, besides Jerusalem, which was fortified both by art and nature, and in which they greatly put their trust and confidence; but these were broken down, particularly by the battering rams of the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 28:49

A nation - from far - Probably the Romans. As the eagle flieth - The very animal on all the Roman standards. The Roman eagle is proverbial. Whose tongue thou shalt not understand - The Latin language, than which none was more foreign to the structure and idiom of the Hebrew. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 28:52

He - Nebuchadnezzar first, ( 2 Kings 25:1 , 2 Kings 25:2 , etc)., and Titus next; shall besiege thee - beset thee round on every side, and cast a trench around thee: viz., lines of circumvallation, as our Lord predicted; (see Matthew 24:1 , etc., and Luke 21:5 , etc.); in all thy gates throughout all thy land - all thy fenced cities, which points out that their subjugation should be complete, as both Jerusalem and all their fortified places should be taken. This was done literally by... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 28:49

Verse 49 49.The Lord shall bring a nation against them from far. He enforces the same threatenings in different words, viz., that unknown and barbarous enemies should come, who shall attack them with great impetuosity and violence. And still further to aggravate their cruelty, He says that their language shall be a strange one; for, when there can be no oral communication, there is no room for entreaties, which sometimes awaken the most savage to mercy. But Jeremiah shews that this was... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 28:52

Verse 52 52.And he shall besiege thee in thy gates. He overthrows every ground of false confidence. The number of their towns inspired them with courage, because they never would have supposed that their enemies would undergo so much fatigue as not to cease from fighting till they were all taken. He therefore includes all their towns, in reliance upon whose multitude they despised hostile aggression. He adds, that in vain they trust in their high and fortified walls, which will be either... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:15-68

The curse . In case of disobedience and apostasy, not only would the blessing be withheld, but a curse would descend, blighting, destructive, and ruinous. As the blessing was set forth in six announcements ( Deuteronomy 28:3-6 ), the curse is proclaimed in form and number corresponding ( Deuteronomy 28:16-19 ). The curse thus appears as the exact counterpart of the blessing. The different forms in which the threatened curse should break forth are then detailed in five groups. read more
