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 28:50

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

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:54

So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate ,.... Not only the rustic that has been brought up meanly, and used to hard living; but one that has been bred very tenderly, and lived in a delicate manner, like the rich man in Luke 16:19 ; that fared sumptuously every day: his eye shall be evil towards his brother, and towards the wife of his bosom, and towards the remnant of his children which he shall leave ; that is, he shall begrudge his brother, who is so nearly... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:55

So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat ,.... Neither give to a brother, nor to a wife, nor to any of his remaining children, the least bit of the flesh of a child he has killed and dressed for his own food; which adds to the barbarity of his action: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates ; every creature being eaten up, dogs, cats, &c.; and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:56

And the tender and delicate woman amongst you ,.... Who is instanced in because of her sex, which is more pitiful and compassionate, and especially one that has been brought up genteelly, and has always lived deliciously, on the most delicate fare, and nicest dainties, and used to all the delights of nature: which would not venture to set her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness ; for fear of taking cold, or defiling her feet: her eye shall be evil towards the husband... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:57

And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet ,.... Or her secundine, "her afterbirth", as in the margin of our Bibles; so the Targum of Jonathan and Aben Ezra interpret it. The latter describes it,"the place of the fetus, while it abides in the womb of its mother;'the membrane in which the child is wrapped; and it is suggested that, as nauseous as that is, the delicate woman should eat it, and then the newborn child that was wrapped in it; so Jarchi interprets it, little... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:58

If thou wilt not observe to do all the words this law, that are written in this book ,.... Of Deuteronomy, in which there is a repetition of the laws before delivered, and an addition of some new ones; all which were to be so observed as to be done, to this end: that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name of the Lord thy God ; or that it might appear that the fear of God was before their eyes, and in their hearts, by their obedience to his law; that they had a proper awe and... read more
