Matthew Henry
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 28:45-68
45-68 If God inflicts vengeance, what miseries his curse can bring upon mankind, even in this present world! Yet these are but the beginning of sorrows to those under the curse of God. What then will be the misery of that world where their worm dieth not, and their fire is not quenched! Observe what is here said of the wrath of God, which should come and remain upon the Israelites for their sins. It is amazing to think that a people so long the favourites of Heaven, should be so cast off; and... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Deuteronomy 28:15-68
The Curses of Disobedience v. 15. But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord, thy God, to observe to do all His commandments and His statutes which I command thee this day, that all these curses, namely, those enumerated in the second part of the Chapter, shall come upon thee and overtake thee, like the victorious enemies seeking to take as many captives as possible. v. 16. Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field. v. 17.... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Deuteronomy 28:47-48
Deuteronomy A CHOICE OF MASTERS Deu_28:47 - Deu_28:48 . The history of Israel is a picture on the large scale of what befalls every man. A service-we are all born to obedience, to depend on and follow some person or thing. There is only a choice of services; and he who boasts himself free is but a more abject slave, as the choice for a nation is either the rule of settled order and the sanctities of an established law, or the usurpation of a mob and the intolerable tyranny of unbridled and... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:20-46
the Fearful Results of Disobedience Deuteronomy 28:20-46 If we compare this chapter with Exodus 23:20-23 and Leviticus 26:1-46 , we shall see how Moses resumes and amplifies the promises and threatenings already set forth in the earlier editions of the Law. The blessings are declared in fourteen verses, while the curses require four times as much space. This is due to God’s eagerness that men should be warned from courses that injure, and shut up to those that lead to blessedness. Note the... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:47-68
the Bitter Fruits of Disobeying God Deuteronomy 28:47-68 These predictions against the Hebrew people were partially fulfilled in earlier invasions, as for instance, those of Nebuchadnezzar and his generals; but it is to the Roman conquest of Judea that we must look for complete fulfillment. One only needs to compare these words with the narrative of Josephus to see the exact accomplishment which took place during the wars of Vespasian and Titus. The Jews themselves admit this. Deuteronomy... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 28:1-68
We now come to the commencement of the third discourse of Moses. It was pre-eminently the uttering of solemn warnings in which he laid before the people the results of disobedience and rebellion. He spoke first, however, of the blessings which would follow obedience. They were to have national pre-eminence. Temporal blessings of all kinds would abound. They were to have victory over their enemies in time of war. The purpose of their King, Jehovah, it was plainly declared, was to fill them with... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:49
Swiftly. The Chaldeans are designated in the same manner, Jeremias v. 5., and Ezechiel xvii. 3, 12. The Romans also carried an eagle, as their chief standard, and the rapidity of their conquests astonished all the world. read more
