Deuteronomy 28:66 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 28:66

And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee
Whether it shall be spared or not by the enemy:

and thou shalt fear day and night;
being in continual dread of being killed:

and shalt have none assurance of thy life;
of its being continued a moment scarcely, but live in constant fear and expectation of its being taken away.
