Commentary

Commentary on Deuteronomy 28:50

Theological / Devotional

Of fierce countenance. Literally, “of inflexible countenance,” from the verb root “to be strong,” “to be mighty,” “to be formidable.” The same word is used in Dan. 8:23 of the Roman power. This word is translated “fierce” (Gen. 49:7), “strong” (Num. 13:28), “mighty” (Ps. 59:3), “roughly” (Prov. 18:23), “greedy” (Isa. 56:11).

Not regard. Compare the Chaldeans (2 Chron. 36:17; Lam. 5:6-12) and the Medes (Isa. 13:18).
