Deuteronomium 28:22

22 De HEERE zal u slaan met tering, en met koorts, en met vurigheid, en met hitte, en met droogte, en met brandkoren, en met honigdauw, die u vervolgen zullen, totdat gij omkomt.

Deuteronomium 28:22 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 28:22

The Lord shall smite thee with a consumption
An emaciation of their bodies, either through famine or wasting diseases, whereby the fluids are washed off, and men are reduced to skin and bones:

and with a fever;
a hot burning disease, which dries up the radical moisture, consumes it, and so threatens with death; of which there are various sorts, and some very pestilential and mortal Jarchi and Aben Ezra interpret it of a fire in the face, by which they seem to mean what is called St. Anthony's fire:

and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning;
either in the inward parts, as an inflammation of the lungs; or in the outward parts, as carbuncles, burning ulcers, and the like:

and with the sword;
in the margin it is, "with drought"; so Aben Ezra interprets the word, which seems better to suit with what it is in company with; and designs either drought in human bodies, occasioned by fevers, inflammations, and extreme burnings; or in the earth, through the force of the sun, and want of rain, which render the earth barren and unfruitful, and so cause a famine:

and with blasting and with mildew;
whereby the corn that is sown, and springs up, comes to nothing, being blasted by east winds, or turns pale and yellow by the mildew, and so withers away; the consequence of which is want of food, and so destruction and ruin; see ( Amos 4:9 ) ;

and they shall pursue thee until thou perish;
follow hard after them, and come so close one after another upon them, until they are utterly destroyed.

Deuteronomium 28:22 In-Context

20 De HEERE zal onder u zenden den vloek, de verstoring en het verderf, in alles, waaraan gij uw hand slaat, dat gij doen zult; totdat gij verdelgd wordt, en totdat gij haastelijk omkomt, vanwege de boosheid uwer werken, waarmede gij Mij verlaten hebt.

21 De HEERE zal u de pestilentie doen aankleven, totdat Hij u verdoe van het land, waar gij naar toe gaat, om dat te erven.

22 De HEERE zal u slaan met tering, en met koorts, en met vurigheid, en met hitte, en met droogte, en met brandkoren, en met honigdauw, die u vervolgen zullen, totdat gij omkomt.

23 En uw hemel, die boven uw hoofd is, zal koper zijn, en de aarde, die onder u is, zal ijzer zijn.

24 De HEERE, uw God, zal pulver en stof tot regen uws lands geven; van den hemel zal het op u nederdalen, totdat gij verdelgd wordt.
