Deuteronomy 28:28 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 28:28

The Lord shall smite thee with madness
At the calamities befallen them, and through the force of diseases on them:

and blindness;
not of body, but of mind; with judicial blindness and hardness of heart:

and astonishment of heart;
at the miserable condition they and their families should be in.

Taken from John Gill's Exposition of the Bible

Deuteronomy 28:28 In-Context

26 And your dead body shall be food for all birds of the air and for the beasts of the earth, and there shall be no one to frighten them away.
27 The LORD will strike you with the boils of Egypt, and with tumors and scabs and itch, of which you cannot be healed.
28 The LORD will strike you with madness and blindness and confusion of mind,
29 and you shall grope at noonday, as the blind grope in darkness, and you shall not prosper in your ways. And you shall be only oppressed and robbed continually, and there shall be no one to help you.
30 You shall betroth a wife, but another man shall ravish her. You shall build a house, but you shall not dwell in it. You shall plant a vineyard, but you shall not enjoy its fruit.
