Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per frasa)

Wesley: Deu 28:33 - Which thou knowest not

Which shall come from a far country, which thou didst not at all expect or fear, and therefore will be the more dreadful when they come; a nation whose language thou understandest not, and therefore canst not plead with them for mercy, nor expect any favour from them.

JFB: Deu 28:29-33 - thou shalt grope at noonday

A general description of the painful uncertainty in which they would live. During the Middle Ages the Jews were driven from society into hiding-places which they were afraid to leave, not knowing from what quarter they might be assailed and their children dragged into captivity, from which no friend could rescue, and no money ransom them.

TSK: Deu 28:33 - The fruit // thou shalt be

The fruit : Deu 28:30, Deu 28:51; Lev 26:16; Neh 9:36, Neh 9:37; Isa 1:7; Jer 5:17, Jer 8:16

thou shalt be : Deu 28:29; Jer 4:17

Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per Ayat)

Poole: Deu 28:33 - Which thou knowest not // Oppressed and crushed alway

Which thou knowest not which shall come from a far country, which thou didst not at all expect or fear and therefore will be the more dreadful when they come; a nation whose language thou understandest not, and therefore canst not plead with them for mercy, nor expect any favour from them.

Oppressed and crushed alway not sometimes conquered, and sometimes conquering, as the course of war commonly is, but in all times, and in all thy actions and attempts, foiled and worsted.

Haydock: Deu 28:33 - A people

A people. The Gentiles, whom the Jews so much despised, and whom the Scripture styles not a nation, have supplanted the Israelites, and entered into the inheritance, which they had lost by their prevarications, Romans x. 19. (Haydock)

Gill: Deu 28:33 - The fruit of thy land, and all thy labour, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up // and thou shall be only oppressed and crushed always

The fruit of thy land, and all thy labour, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up,.... The same was prophesied of by Jeremiah, concerning the Babylonish captivity, and was fulfilled in it, Jer 5:17; and has been also verified in the frequent pillage and spoil of this people, in their present state; for though they have no land to till, from whence to gather fruit, yet they are employed in manufactures and merchandise, the fruit and benefit of which they have been frequently stripped of:

and thou shall be only oppressed and crushed always; this seems best to agree with their present case; for in their former captivities they were not always oppressed and crushed, but had respite and deliverance; See Gill on Deu 28:29.
