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.

34 so that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.

35 Jehovah will smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore boil, whereof thou canst not be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the crown of thy head.

36 Jehovah will bring thee, and thy king whom thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation that thou hast not known, thou nor thy fathers; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone.
