Deuteronomy 28:51 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 28:51

And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle
Larger and lesser, oxen and sheep, as their calves and lambs, and kids of the goat:

and the fruit of thy land;
their wheat, barley, figs, grapes, pomegranates, olives, and dates:

until thou be destroyed;
the land of Judea, and all the increase of it: this being before said, ( Deuteronomy 28:31 Deuteronomy 28:33 ) ; and here repeated, shows that the same should be fulfilled at different times, as by the Chaldeans, so by the Romans; whose nation, or army, with their general at the head of them, may be more especially here intended by "he", that should eat up their fruit until utter destruction was brought upon them:

which [also] shall not leave thee [either] corn, wine, or oil, [or]
the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have
destroyed thee;
all being consumed by the Roman army. There is a promise and prophecy, that though this would be the case, as it has been, there shall be a time when it shall be so no more; see ( Isaiah 62:8 Isaiah 62:9 ) .

Deuteronomy 28:51 In-Context

49 The Lord will bring a nation from far away, from the end of the earth, to swoop down on you like an eagle, a nation whose language you do not understand,

50 a grim-faced nation showing no respect to the old or favor to the young.

51 It shall consume the fruit of your livestock and the fruit of your ground until you are destroyed, leaving you neither grain, wine, and oil, nor the increase of your cattle and the issue of your flock, until it has made you perish.

52 It shall besiege you in all your towns until your high and fortified walls, in which you trusted, come down throughout your land; it shall besiege you in all your towns throughout the land that the Lord your God has given you.

53 In the desperate straits to which the enemy siege reduces you, you will eat the fruit of your womb, the flesh of your own sons and daughters whom the Lord your God has given you.
