Deuteronomy 28:57 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Her young one — Heb. after — birth: that which was loathsome to behold, will now be pleasant to eat; and together with it she shall eat the child which was wrapt up in it, and may be included in this expression. Which she shall bear — Or, which she shall have born, that is, her more grown children. She shall eat them — This was fulfilled more than once, to the perpetual reproach of the Jewish nation. Never was the like done either by Greek or Barbarian. See the fruit of being abandoned by God!

Deuteronomy 28:57

57 And toward her young onej that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.
