10 And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the Lord; and they shall be afraid of thee.
10 Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they will fear you.
10 And all the peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they shall be afraid of you.
10 All the peoples on Earth will see you living under the Name of God and hold you in respectful awe.
10 Then all peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they shall be afraid of you.
10 Then all the nations of the world will see that you are a people claimed by the Lord, and they will stand in awe of you.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Deuteronomy 28:10
Commentary on Deuteronomy 28:1-14
(Read Deuteronomy 28:1-14)
This chapter is a very large exposition of two words, the blessing and the curse. They are real things and have real effects. The blessings are here put before the curses. God is slow to anger, but swift to show mercy. It is his delight to bless. It is better that we should be drawn to what is good by a child-like hope of God's favour, than that we be frightened to it by a slavish fear of his wrath. The blessing is promised, upon condition that they diligently hearken to the voice of God. Let them keep up religion, the form and power of it, in their families and nation, then the providence of God would prosper all their outward concerns.
