SEV Biblia, Chapter 28:28
El SEÑOR te herirá con locura, y con ceguedad, y con pasmo de corazón.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:28
Verse 28. The Lord shall smite thee with madness] w[g shiggaon, distraction, so that thou shalt not know what to do. And blindness] wrw[ ivvaron, blindness, both physical and mental; the brg garab, (ver. 27,) destroying their eyes, and the judgments of God confounding their understandings.
Astonishment] whmt timmahon, stupidity and amazement. By the just judgments of God they were so completely confounded, as not to discern the means by which they might prevent or remove their calamities, and to adopt those which led directly to their ruin. How true is the ancient saying, Quos Deus vult perdere, prius dementat! "Those whom God is determined to destroy, he first infatuates." But this applies not exclusively to the poor Jews: how miserably infatuated have the powers of the continent of Europe been, in all their councils and measures, for several years past! And what is the result? They have fallen-most deplorably fallen!
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 28. The Lord shall smite thee with madness , etc.] At the calamities befallen them, and through the force of diseases on them: and blindness ; not of body, but of mind; with judicial blindness and hardness of heart: and astonishment of heart ; at the miserable condition they and their families should be in.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 15-44 - If we do not keep God's commandments, we not only come short of the blessing promised, but we lay ourselves under the curse, which include all misery, as the blessing all happiness. Observe the justice of thi curse. It is not a curse causeless, or for some light cause. The exten and power of this curse. Wherever the sinner goes, the curse of God follows; wherever he is, it rests upon him. Whatever he has is under curse. All his enjoyments are made bitter; he cannot take any tru comfort in them, for the wrath of God mixes itself with them. Man judgments are here stated, which would be the fruits of the curse, an with which God would punish the people of the Jews, for their apostac and disobedience. We may observe the fulfilling of these threatening in their present state. To complete their misery, it is threatened tha by these troubles they should be bereaved of all comfort and hope, an left to utter despair. Those who walk by sight, and not by faith, ar in danger of losing reason itself, when every thing about them look frightful.
