Deuteronomy 28:65 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 28:65

And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither
shall the sole of thy foot have rest
No quiet settlement, nor certain dwelling, being obliged to move from place to place through cruel edicts, heavy fines and mulcts, exorbitant taxes and impositions, and diligent search made after them by the courts of the inquisition, especially where any substance was to be gotten.

FOOTNOTES:

F20 own that this passage is now fulfilled in them:

but the Lord shall give thee there a trembling heart;
being always in fear lest their persons should be seized on, their children taken from them, and their goods confiscated; hence the poet ^F21 gives them the epithet of "trembling":

and failing of eyes:
in looking for a vainly expected Messiah, to deliver them from all their fears and troubles:

and sorrow of mind;
under their present afflictions and calamities.

Deuteronomy 28:65 In-Context

63 And as the Lorde reioysed ouer you to do you good and to multiplye you: euen so he will reioyse ouer you, to destroye you and to brynge you to nought. And ye shabe wasted from of the lande whother thou goest to enioye it,

64 And the Lorde shall scater the amonge all nacyons from the one ende of the worlde vnto the other, and there thou shalt serue straunge goddes, which nether thou nor thy fathers haue knowne: euen wod and stone.

65 And amonge these nacyons thou shalt be no small season, and yet shalt haue no reste for the sole of thy foote. For the Lorde shall geue the there a treblynge herte ad dasynge eyes and sorowe of mynde.

66 And thy lyfe shall hange before the, and thou shalt feare both daye and nyghte ad shalt haue no trust in thy lyfe.

67 In the mornynge thou shalt saye, wolde God it were nyghte. And at nyghte thou shalt saye, wolde God it were mornynge. For feare off thyne herte whiche thou shalt feare, and for the syghte of thyne eyes whiche thou shalt se.
