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 28:45

Moreover, all these curses shall come upon thee ,.... Before related, as well as what follow: and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee till thou be destroyed ; which though they would endeavour to flee from and escape, should not be able, since they would follow them so closely and swiftly, and overtake them, and seize upon them; see Deuteronomy 28:15 , because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:46

And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder ,.... That is, those curses before pronounced, Deuteronomy 27:15 , and what follow, should rest and remain upon them, continue with them, and be very visible on them; so as to be observed by others, as a sign of the wrath and displeasure of God, and of the fulfilment of prophecy, and of the truth of divine revelation: and so "for a wonder": as it is most astonishing to observe how exactly all the curses threatened them have fallen... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:47

Because thou servedst not the Lord thy God ,.... By attending his worship, and keeping his commandments: with joyfulness and gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things ; which they enjoyed in the land of Canaan, a land that abounded with all good things; which laid them under great obligations to serve the Lord: and yet, as they were wanting in a ready attendance on his worship, and in a cheerful obedience to his laws, so in their sacrifices, of praise and thanksgivings for... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:48

Therefore shall thou serve thine enemies, which the Lord shall send against thee ,.... Since they would not serve the Lord their God, who was so good a master to them, and supplied them with all good things, and with plenty of them, they should serve other lords, their enemies, whom God would raise up and send against them; not only, the Assyrians, Chaldeans, and Babylonians, but the Romans, after described, whom they should find hard masters, and from whom they; should have very severe... 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

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:53

And thou shall eat the fruit of thine body ,.... Than which nothing can be more shocking and unnatural, which is explained as follows: the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the Lord thy God hath given thee ; which is an aggravation of the cruel and inhuman fact: in the siege, and in the straitness wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee ; this shows the cause of it, a famine by reason of the closeness of the siege, so that no provisions could be brought in for their... read more
