Deuteronomy 28:65 Summary

This verse, Deuteronomy 28:65, is saying that when we disobey God and don't follow His commands, we will not find true rest or peace, as also warned in Leviticus 26:33. Instead, we will feel anxious and uncertain, like our lives are hanging in the balance, as described in Deuteronomy 28:66-67. But God wants us to know that He is our rock and our refuge, and that we can find true rest and peace in Him, as promised in Psalm 46:1-3 and Matthew 11:28-30. By seeking to obey God and live righteously, we can experience His peace and rest, even in difficult circumstances, as seen in Isaiah 26:3-4 and Philippians 4:6-7.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean to have 'no repose' among the nations?

This means that the Israelites will not be able to find rest or peace among the nations where they are scattered, as seen in Deuteronomy 28:65, and is a consequence of their disobedience, as warned in Deuteronomy 28:63 and Leviticus 26:33.

How does God give a 'trembling heart, failing eyes, and a despairing soul'?

This is a result of God's judgment, as stated in Deuteronomy 28:65, and is similar to the fear and dread described in Leviticus 26:36, where God says He will put fear in the hearts of those who disobey Him.

Is this verse only applicable to the Israelites in the Old Testament?

While Deuteronomy 28:65 is specifically addressed to the Israelites, the principles of God's judgment and the consequences of disobedience are applicable to all people, as seen in Romans 11:21 and 2 Peter 3:9-10, where we are warned to obey God and live righteously.

How can we apply this verse to our lives today?

We can apply Deuteronomy 28:65 by recognizing the importance of obeying God and living righteously, as encouraged in Proverbs 10:3 and Matthew 5:48, and by seeking to follow God's commands and principles in our daily lives, as seen in Deuteronomy 10:12-13 and Ephesians 2:10.

Reflection Questions

  1. What are some ways that I may be seeking rest and peace in the wrong places, and how can I instead find true rest in God, as promised in Matthew 11:28-30?
  2. How can I cultivate a heart that is obedient to God and trusting in His goodness, even in difficult circumstances, as seen in Psalm 23:4 and Romans 8:28?
  3. What are some areas in my life where I may be experiencing a 'trembling heart, failing eyes, and a despairing soul', and how can I seek God's healing and restoration, as offered in Psalm 34:18 and Isaiah 61:1-3?
  4. How can I be a source of hope and comfort to others who may be experiencing difficulties and feeling without rest or peace, as encouraged in Galatians 6:2 and 1 Thessalonians 5:11?

Gill's Exposition on Deuteronomy 28:65

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

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Deuteronomy 28:65

And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind: Among

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Deuteronomy 28:65

Neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest; ye shall have no settlement in the land whither you are banished, but there you shall be tossed about from place to place, and sold from person to person, or, Cain-like, wander about like a vagabond.

Trapp's Commentary on Deuteronomy 28:65

Deuteronomy 28:65 And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:Ver. 65. A trembling heart.] Juvenal by a jeer calls them Iudaeos trementes, trembling Jews (Sat. vi.). It seems they had Cain’ s curse upon them.

Ellicott's Commentary on Deuteronomy 28:65

(65) And among these nations shalt thou find no ease.—The repeated persecutions of the Jews by other nations in the time of their dispersion are among the most fearful and wonderful phenomena of history. And failing of eyes.—“Looking for salvation, and it cometh not” (Rashi). How many years have they gone on praying that they may keep the feast “next year” in Jerusalem? and still the hope is deferred.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Deuteronomy 28:65

Verse 65. No ease - a trembling heart, and failing of eyes] The trembling of heart may refer to their state of continual insecurity, being, under every kind of government, proscribed, and, even under the most mild, uncertain of toleration and protection; and the failing of eyes, to their vain and ever-disappointed expectation of the Messiah.

Cambridge Bible on Deuteronomy 28:65

65. shalt thou find no ease] The vb. is found only in Jeremiah 31:2; Jeremiah 47:6; Jeremiah 50:34, Isaiah 52:4; its substantive in Isaiah 28:12. no rest, etc.] Genesis 8:9. a quaking heart] The vb. occurs in Deuteronomy 2:25. failing of eyes] With disappointment of hope: cp. Deuteronomy 28:32 and Lamentations 2:11; Lamentations 4:17. pining of soul] Faintness of longing or of life; Heb. nephesh means either.
