Deuteronômio 28:50 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 28:50

A nation of fierce countenance
Or, "strong of face" F25; which aptly describes the old Romans, who are always represented as such; and whereas it is said of the Chaldeans, that they were a nation dreadful and terrible, ( Habakkuk 1:7 ) ; the same is said of the fourth beast, or Roman empire, ( Daniel 7:7 ) ; who were a terror to all the world:

which shall not regard the person of the old, nor show favour to the
young:
cruel, unmerciful, and uncompassionate, to persons of whatsoever age or sex; which, as it was the character of the Chaldeans, ( 2 Chronicles 36:17 ) ; so of the Romans, who especially showed no mercy to the Jews, as Josephus F26, who was an eyewitness, testifies.

``The Romans (says he) showed no mercy to any age, out of hatred to the nation (of the Jews), and in remembrance of the injuries done to Cestius;''

one of their governors, when among them. And in another place he says {a},

``the Romans, remembering what they suffered in the siege, spared none, and showed no mercy.''

Deuteronômio 28:50 In-Context

48 servirás aos teus inimigos, que o Senhor enviará contra ti, em fome e sede, e em nudez, e em falta de tudo; e ele porá sobre o teu pescoço um jugo de ferro, até que te haja destruído.
49 O Senhor levantará contra ti de longe, da extremidade da terra, uma nação que voa como a águia, nação cuja língua não entenderás;
50 nação de rosto feroz, que não respeitará ao velho, nem se compadecerá do moço;
51 e comerá o fruto dos teus animais e o fruto do teu solo, até que sejas destruído; e não te deixará grão, nem mosto, nem azeite, nem as crias das tuas vacas e das tuas ovelhas, até que te faça perecer;
52 e te sitiará em todas as tuas portas, até que em toda a tua terra venham a cair os teus altos e fortes muros, em que confiavas; sim, te sitiará em todas as tuas portas, em toda a tua terra que o Senhor teu Deus te deu.
