Deuteronomy 28:58 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 28:58

If thou wilt not observe to do all the words this law, that
are written in this book
Of Deuteronomy, in which there is a repetition of the laws before delivered, and an addition of some new ones; all which were to be so observed as to be done, to this end,

that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name of the Lord thy
God;
or that it might appear that the fear of God was before their eyes, and in their hearts, by their obedience to his law; that they had a proper awe and reverence of him, who is glorious in his titles and attributes, and whose name Jehovah is holy and reverend; and who, as the covenant God of his people, is to, be feared for his goodness sake.

Deuteronomy 28:58 In-Context

56 The most delicate and sensitive woman among you, so sensitive and delicate that she wouldn't think of touching the sole of her foot to the ground, will so begrudge her own beloved husband, son and daughter
57 that she will secretly eat the afterbirth that comes out of her and even her own children as she bears them -so desperately hungry will she be in the severity of the siege and distress your enemies are inflicting on you in your towns.
58 "If you will not observe and obey all the words of this Torah that are written in this book, so that you will fear this glorious and awesome name, ADONAI your God;
59 then ADONAI will strike down you and your descendants with extraordinary plagues and severe sicknesses that go on and on.
60 He will bring back upon you all the diseases the Egyptians had, which you were in dread of; and they will cling to you.
