SEV Biblia, Chapter 28:67
Por la mañana dirás: ¡Quién diera que fuese la tarde! y a la tarde dirás: ¡Quién diera que fuese la mañana! por el miedo de tu corazón con que estarás amedrentado, y por lo que verán tus ojos.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 67. In the morning thou shalt say, would God it were even , etc.] Wishing they might get through the day well, fearing their life would be taken away before night, or some sad calamity befall them before the day was past: and at even thou shall say, would God it were morning ; dreading what would happen to them in the night, that some messenger of death would be sent to dispatch them, or they should be haled out of bed to a court of inquisition, and cast into a dungeon: for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which, thou shalt see ; often beholding such dreadful sights, as their countrymen put upon the rack, and cruelly tortured, and then burnt alive; and so their hearts would fear and tremble, lest they should be the next that would be taken up and used in this manner; besides other severities and hard usages, with which their brethren were treated, and they in continual fear of.
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 __________________________________________________________________
