Deuteronomio 28:52

52 Y te pondrá cerco en todas tus ciudades, hasta que caigan tus muros altos y encastillados en que tú confías, en toda tu tierra; te cercará, pues, en todas tus ciudades y en toda tu tierra, que el SEÑOR tu Dios te habrá dado

Deuteronomio 28:52 Meaning and 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 Romans:

and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, throughout all thy land,
which the Lord thy God hath given thee;
this is repeated for the certainty of it, and that it might be taken notice of, and abate their trust and confidence in their outward strength. Now all this was fulfilled, partly in the siege of Samaria by the king of Assyria, who went through all the land of the ten tribes, ( 2 Kings 17:5 ) ( 2 Kings 18:9 2 Kings 18:10 ) ; and in Sennacherib's taking the fenced cities of Judah, ( 2 Kings 18:13 ) ; and in the siege of Jerusalem, and breaking down the walls of it by Nebuchadnezzar, ( 2 Kings 25:10 ) ; and, last of all, in the siege of Jerusalem, and battering down the walls of it, by the Romans; at which time also all their strong and fenced cities throughout the land were taken and demolished.

Deuteronomio 28:52 In-Context

50 gente fiera de rostro, que no tendrá respeto al anciano, ni perdonará al niño

51 y comerá el fruto de tu bestia y el fruto de tu tierra, hasta que perezcas; y no te dejará grano, ni mosto, ni aceite, ni la cría de tus vacas, ni los rebaños de tus ovejas, hasta destruirte

52 Y te pondrá cerco en todas tus ciudades, hasta que caigan tus muros altos y encastillados en que tú confías, en toda tu tierra; te cercará, pues, en todas tus ciudades y en toda tu tierra, que el SEÑOR tu Dios te habrá dado

53 Y comerás el fruto de tu vientre, la carne de tus hijos y de tus hijas que el SEÑOR tu Dios te dio, en el cerco y el apuro con que te angustiará tu enemigo

54 El hombre tierno en ti, y el muy delicado, su ojo será maligno para con su hermano, y para con la mujer de su seno, y para con el resto de sus hijos que le quedaren
