Deuteronomy 28:35 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 28:35

The Lord shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with
a sore botch, that cannot be healed
Which in those parts as it is very painful, so is not easily cured; and this which is threatened was incurable by the art of man, as others in ( Deuteronomy 28:27 ) ; and which should not stop there in the lower parts of the body, but proceed and spread:

from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head;
and so be filled with them, as Job was with his boils and ulcers.

Deuteronomy 28:35 In-Context

34 so that you are driven mad by the sights that your eyes see.
35 The LORD will strike you on the knees and on the legs with grievous boils of which you cannot be healed, from the sole of your foot to the crown of your head.
36 "The LORD will bring you and your king whom you set over you to a nation that neither you nor your fathers have known. And there you shall serve other gods of wood and stone.
