  curses, as in the preceding blessings, to intimate every kind
  of prosperity or adversity, personal, relative, and public.
  Consulting the marginal references will generally lead to the
  best exposition of the terms employed; and will frequently
  point out the fulfilment of the promises and threatenings.

VERSE 23
   The language here is remarkable:  "Thy heaven;" that part of
  the atmosphere which was over Judea, instead of being
  replenished with aqueous vapours, should become, with respect
  to moisture, like brass:  and consequently their land would
  become as hard as iron, and wholly incapable of cultivation;
  while the clouds might give showers in abundance, and the
  earth be moist and fruitful in other regions.

   * Le 26:19 1Ki 17:1; 18:2 Jer 14:1-6 Am 4:7


VERSE 24 
 - make the rain.
  This was a natural consequence of their heaven's being brass,
  or yielding no rain; for the surface of the earth being
  reduced to powder, and frequently taken up by strong winds,
  would fall down in showers instead of rain.  These showers of
  sand frequently, in the East, bury whole caravans.

- there shalt thou.
  The Israelites, who were carried captive by the Assyrians, and
  many of the Jews in Chaldea, were finally incorporated with
  the nations among whom they lived, and were given up to their
  idolatry.  It is probable, however, that this refers to Jews
  being compelled, in Popish countries, to conceal their
  religion, and profess that of the Romish church.

   * Zec 8:13
- a proverb.
  The name of Jew has long been a proverbial mark of detestation
  and contempt among all the nations whither they have been
  dispersed, and is so to this day, whether among Christians,
  Mohmammedans, or Pagans.

   * Isa 47:6 Jer 27:12,13; 28:13,14 Mt 11:29


VERSE 49 
 - bring a nation.
  Though the Chaldeans are frequently described under the figure
  of an eagle, yet these verses especially predict the
  desolations brought on the Jews by the Romans; who came from a
  country far more distant than Chaldea; whose conquests were as
  rapid as the eagle's flight, and whose standard bore this very
  figure; who spake a language to which the Jews were then
  entire strangers, being wholly unlike the Hebrew, of which the
  Chaldee was merely a dialect; whose appearance and victories
  were terrible; and whose yoke was a yoke of iron; and the
  havoc which they made tremendous.

   * De 15:9 Pr 23:6; 28:22 Mt 20:15

  The Roman armies at length besieged, sacked, and utterly
  desolated Jerusalem:  and during this seige, the famine was so
  extreme, that even rich and delicate persons, both men and
  women, ate their own children, and concealed the horrible
  repast, lest others should tear it from them!  "Women snatched
  the food out of the very mouths of their husbands, and sons of
  their fathers, and (what is most miserable) mothers of their
  infants."  "In every house, if there appeared any semblance of
  food, a battle pursued, and the dearest friends and relations
  fought with one another; snatching away the miserable
  provisions of life."  "A woman distinguished by birth and
  wealth, after she had been plundered by the tyrants (or
  soldiers) of all her possessions, boiling her own sucking
  child, ate half of him, and concealing the other half,
  reserved it for another time!"

   * De 13:6 2Sa 12:3 Mic 7:5

  In the seige of Jerusalem there died 1,100,000 persons, and
  more than 90,000 were carried captive; and, having afterwards
  provoked the Romans by their crimes and rebellions, they
  persecuted them nearly to extirpation; to which, if the tens
  of thousands which were slaughtered year after year in every
  country be added, it appears wonderful that there were any
  remains left.

VERSE 65 
 - among.
  After the conquest of their country by the Romans, Hadrian, by
  a public decree, ratified by the senate, forbad any Jew to
  come even within sight of Judea; and hence they were dispersed
  over every quarter of the globe, where they found no
  alleviation or respite from misery.  In no country are they
  treated as denizens; all suspect them as enemies, and behave
  to them as aliens; if they do not, as had been too frequently
  the case, harass, oppress, and persecute them, even unto
  death.

VERSE 68 
 - bring thee into Egypt.
  This verse seems especially to point out an event, which took
  place subsequently to the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus,
  and the desolation made by Hadrian.  Numbers of the captives
  were sent by sea into Egypt (as well as into other countries),
  and sold for slaves at a vile price, and for the meanest
  offices; and many thousands were left to perish from want; for
  the multitude was so great, that purchasers could not be found
  for them all at any price!

   * De 17:16 Jer 43:7; 44:12 Ho 8:13; 9:3
- there ye shall.
