SEV Biblia, Chapter 29:22
Y dirá la generación venidera, vuestros hijos que vendrán después de vosotros, y el extranjero que vendrá de lejanas tierras, cuando vieren las plagas de esta tierra, y sus enfermedades de que el SEÑOR la hizo enfermar,
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 22. So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you , etc.] Not the next generation, but in future times, in ages to come, at a great distance, even after the destruction of Judea by the Romans; to which ( Deuteronomy 29:23) seems to refer: and the stranger that shall come from a far land ; on trade and business, or for the sake of travelling, his road either lying through it, or his curiosity leading him to see it: shall say, when they see the plagues of the land ; cities and towns in ruins, fields lie uncultivated, and the whole land depopulated, and all become a barren wilderness, which was once a fruitful country, a land flowing with milk and honey: and the sicknesses which the Lord hath laid upon it ; upon the inhabitants of it, as the pestilence and other diseases, which shall have swept the land of them; (see Deuteronomy 28:22,27,35). This case supposes a general departure from the worship of God to the service of idols; otherwise single individuals are punished in their own persons, as in the ( Deuteronomy 29:21).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 22-28 - Idolatry would be the ruin of their nation. It is no new thing for God to bring desolating judgments on a people near to him in profession. He never does this without good reason. It concerns us to seek for the reason, that we may give glory to God, and take warning to ourselves Thus the law of Moses leaves sinners under the curse, and rooted out of the Lord's land; but the grace of Christ toward penitent, believin sinners, plants them again in their land; and they shall no more be pulled up, being kept by the power of God.
