Deuteronomy 28:66 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 28:66

And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee
Whether it shall be spared or not by the enemy:

and thou shalt fear day and night;
being in continual dread of being killed:

and shalt have none assurance of thy life;
of its being continued a moment scarcely, but live in constant fear and expectation of its being taken away.

Deuteronomy 28:66 In-Context

64 For the LORD will scatter you among all the nations from one end of the earth to the other. There you will worship foreign gods that neither you nor your ancestors have known, gods made of wood and stone!

65 There among those nations you will find no peace or place to rest. And the LORD will cause your heart to tremble, your eyesight to fail, and your soul to despair.

66 Your life will constantly hang in the balance. You will live night and day in fear, unsure if you will survive.

67 In the morning you will say, ‘If only it were night!’ And in the evening you will say, ‘If only it were morning!’ For you will be terrified by the awful horrors you see around you.

68 Then the LORD will send you back to Egypt in ships, to a destination I promised you would never see again. There you will offer to sell yourselves to your enemies as slaves, but no one will buy you.”
