Deuteronomy 28:21 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 28:21

The Lord shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee
Not only to come upon them; but to continue with them:

until he have consumed thee from off the land whither thou goest to
possess it;
which shows that this respects not some particular seasons, when the pestilence came and continued awhile, and then ceased, as in the times of David; but when it became more general, and issued with other judgments in the utter consumption of them, as at the destruction of Jerusalem, both by the Babylonians and the Romans; at what times the pestilence raged and remained, until by that and other sore judgments the land was wholly depopulated.
