Levítico 26:19 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 26:19

And I will break the pride of your power
Which the Targum of Jonathan and Jarchi interpret of the sanctuary, which they were proud of, trusted in, and boasted of; but was broke or destroyed, first by Nebuchadnezzar, then by the Romans: but it may rather signify their country, the glory of all lands for its fruitfulness, which for their sins should become barren, as follows; or the multitude of their forces, and the strength of their mighty men of war, in which they put their confidence; it may take in everything, civil and ecclesiastical, they prided themselves with, and had their dependence on, thinking themselves safe on account of them, but should be broken to shivers, and be of no service to them: and I will make your heaven as iron;
so that neither dew nor rain shall descend from thence to make the earth fruitful; but, on the contrary, an heat should be reflected, which would parch it, and make it barren: and your earth as brass;
that the seed could not be cast into it, nor anything spring out of it, for the service of man and beast, so that a famine must unavoidably follow.

Levítico 26:19 In-Context

17 Yo les negaré mi favor, y sus adversarios los derrotarán. Sus enemigos los dominarán, y ustedes huirán sin que nadie los persiga.

18 »Si después de todo esto siguen sin obedecerme, siete veces los castigaré por sus pecados.

19 Yo quebrantaré su orgullo y terquedad. Endureceré el cielo como el hierro y la tierra como el bronce,

20 por lo que en vano agotarán sus fuerzas, y ni el suelo ni los árboles del campo les darán sus frutos.

21 »Si a pesar de esto siguen oponiéndose a mí, y se niegan a obedecerme, siete veces los castigaré por sus pecados.
