Summary

This verse is part of the blessings and curses pronounced by Moses upon the Israelites based on their obedience or disobedience to God's commands. Here, Moses warns that just as the Lord had taken delight in prospering and multiplying the Israelites, He would also take delight in bringing disaster upon them and destroying them if they turned away from Him. The verse serves as a sobering reminder of the consequences of forsaking God and breaking the covenant, highlighting the importance of faithfulness and obedience in maintaining a close relationship with Him.

John Gill Bible Commentary

And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest,.... No quiet settlement, nor certain dwelling, being obliged to move from place to place through cruel edicts, heavy fines and mulcts, exorbitant taxes and impositions, and diligent search made after them by the courts of the inquisition, especially where any substance was to be gotten. The Jews themselves (t) own that this passage is now fulfilled in them: but the Lord shall give thee there a trembling heart; being always in fear lest their persons should be seized on, their children taken from them, and their goods confiscated; hence the poet (u) gives them the epithet of "trembling": and failing of eyes: in looking for a vainly expected Messiah, to deliver them from all their fears and troubles: and sorrow of mind; under their present afflictions and calamities. (t) Shebet Judah, p. 108, 109. Manasseh Ben Israel de Termino Vitae, l. 3. sect. 3. p. 132. (u) "----Judea tremens----". Juvenal, Satyr 6. v. 543.
