SEV Biblia, Chapter 28:65
Y ni aun entre los mismos gentiles reposarás, ni la planta de tu pie tendrá reposo; que allí te dará el SEÑOR corazón temeroso, y caimiento de ojos, y tristeza de alma;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:65
Verse 65. No ease-a trembling heart, and failing of eyes] The trembling of heart may refer to their state of continual insecurity, being, under every kind of government, proscribed, and, even under the most mild, uncertain of toleration and protection; and the failing of eyes, to their vain and ever-disappointed expectation of the Messiah.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 65. And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest , etc.] No quiet settlement, nor certain dwelling, being obliged to move from place to place through cruel edicts, heavy fines and mulcts, exorbitant taxes and impositions, and diligent search made after them by the courts of the inquisition, especially where any substance was to be gotten. The Jews themselves own that this passage is now fulfilled in them: but the Lord shall give thee there a trembling heart ; being always in fear lest their persons should be seized on, their children taken from them, and their goods confiscated; hence the poet gives them the epithet of “trembling”: and failing of eyes : in looking for a vainly expected Messiah, to deliver them from all their fears and troubles: and sorrow of mind ; under their present afflictions and calamities.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 45-68 - If God inflicts vengeance, what miseries his curse can bring upo 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 miser of that world where their worm dieth not, and their fire is no quenched! Observe what is here said of the wrath of God, which shoul 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 cas off; and yet that a people so scattered in all nations should be kep distinct, and not mixed with others. If they would not serve God with cheerfulness, they should be compelled to serve their enemies. We ma justly expect from God, that if we do not fear his fearful name, we shall feel his fearful plagues; for one way or other God will be feared. The destruction threatened is described. They have, indeed been plucked from off the land, ver. #(63). Not only by the Babylonis captivity, and when Jerusalem was destroyed by the Romans; but afterwards, when they were forbidden to set foot in Jerusalem. The should have no rest; no rest of body, ver. 65, but be continually of the remove, either in hope of gain, or fear of persecution. No rest of the mind, which is much worse. They have been banished from city to city, from country to country; recalled, and banished again. Thes events, compared with the favour shown to Israel in ancient times, an with the prophecies about them, should not only excite astonishment but turn unto us for a testimony, assuring us of the truth of Scripture. And when the other prophecies of their conversion to Chris shall come to pass, the whole will be a sign and a wonder to all the nations of the earth, and the forerunner of a general spread of tru christianity. The fulfilling of these prophecies upon the Jewis nation, delivered more than three thousand years ago, shows that Mose spake by the Spirit of God; who not only foresees the ruin of sinners but warns of it, that they may prevent it by a true and timel repentance, or else be left without excuse. And let us be thankful tha Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, by being made curse for us, and bearing in his own person all that punishment whic our sins merit, and which we must otherwise have endured for ever. To this Refuge and salvation let sinners flee; therein let believer rejoice, and serve their reconciled God with gladness of heart, for the abundance of his spiritual blessings __________________________________________________________________
