Commentary on Deuteronomy 28:37

Theological / Devotional

An astonishment. It would be almost beyond comprehension that a nation once so favored by God, should fall so low as Israel fell (see 1 Kings 9:7-9; Jer. 18:15-17 ; 19:8).

A proverb. When the heathen wished to express contempt for a person, they would do so by calling him a Jew.
