WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 “So then, if you will listen to the voice of the Lord your God, so as to keep and do all of his commandments, which I instruct to you this day, the Lord your God will cause you to be more exalted than all the nations which exist upon the earth.
1 Y SERÁ que, si oyeres diligente la voz de Jehová tu Dios, para guardar, para poner por obra todos sus mandamientos que yo te prescribo hoy, también Jehová tu Dios te pondrá alto sobre todas las gentes de la tierra;
1 It shall happen, if you shall listen diligently to Yahweh your God’s voice, to observe to do all his commandments which I command you today, that Yahweh your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.
2 And all these blessings shall come to you and take hold of you, but only if you listen to his precepts.
2 Y vendrán sobre ti todas estas bendiciones, y te alcanzarán, cuando oyeres la voz de Jehová tu Dios.
2 All these blessings will come upon you, and overtake you, if you listen to Yahweh your God’s voice.
3 Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed in the field.
3 Bendito serás tú en la ciudad, y bendito tú en el campo.
3 You shall be blessed in the city, and you shall be blessed in the field.
4 Blessed shall be the fruit of your loins, and the fruit of your land, and the fruit of your cattle, the droves of your herds, and the folds of your sheep.
4 Bendito el fruto de tu vientre, y el fruto de tu bestia, la cría de tus vacas, y los rebaños de tus ovejas.
4 You shall be blessed in the fruit of your body, the fruit of your ground, the fruit of your animals, the increase of your livestock, and the young of your flock.
5 Blessed shall be your barns, and blessed your storehouses.
5 Bendito tu canastillo y tus sobras.
5 Your basket and your kneading trough shall be blessed.
6 Blessed shall you be entering and departing.
6 Bendito serás en tu entrar, y bendito en tu salir.
6 You shall be blessed when you come in, and you shall be blessed when you go out.
7 The Lord will grant that your enemies, who rise up against you, will fall down in your sight. They will come against you by one way, and they will flee from your face by seven ways.
7 Pondrá Jehová á tus enemigos que se levantaren contra ti, de rota batida delante de ti: por un camino saldrán á ti, por siete caminos huirán delante de ti.
7 Yahweh will cause your enemies who rise up against you to be struck before you. They will come out against you one way, and will flee before you seven ways.
8 The Lord will send forth a blessing upon your cellars, and upon all the works of your hands. And he will bless you in the land that you shall receive.
8 Enviará Jehová contigo la bendición en tus graneros, y en todo aquello en que pusieres tu mano; y te bendecirá en la tierra que Jehová tu Dios te da.
8 Yahweh will command the blessing on you in your barns, and in all that you put your hand to. He will bless you in the land which Yahweh your God gives you.
9 The Lord will raise you up as a holy people for himself, just as he swore to you, if you will keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and walk in his ways.
9 Confirmarte ha Jehová por pueblo suyo santo, como te ha jurado, cuando guardares los mandamientos de Jehová tu Dios, y anduvieres en sus caminos.
9 Yahweh will establish you for a holy people to himself, as he has sworn to you, if you shall keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, and walk in his ways.
10 And all the peoples of the earth shall see that the name of the Lord has been invoked over you, and they shall fear you.
10 Y verán todos los pueblos de la tierra que el nombre de Jehová es llamado sobre ti, y te temerán.
10 All the peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by Yahweh’s name, and they will be afraid of you.
11 The Lord will cause you to be abundant in every good thing: in the fruit of your womb, and in the fruit of your cattle, and in the fruit of your land, which the Lord swore to your fathers that he would give to you.
11 Y te hará Jehová sobreabundar en bienes, en el fruto de tu vientre, y en el fruto de tu bestia, y en el fruto de tu tierra, en el país que juró Jehová á tus padres que te había de dar.
11 Yahweh will grant you abundant prosperity in the fruit of your body, in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your ground, in the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers to give you.
12 The Lord will open his excellent treasury, the heavens, so that it may distribute rain in due time. And he will bless all the works of your hands. And you shall lend to many nations, but you yourself will borrow nothing from anyone.
12 Abrirte ha Jehová su buen depósito, el cielo, para dar lluvia á tu tierra en su tiempo, y para bendecir toda obra de tus manos. Y prestarás á muchas gentes, y tú no tomarás emprestado.
12 Yahweh will open to you his good treasure in the sky, to give the rain of your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You will lend to many nations, and you will not borrow.
13 And the Lord will appoint you as the head, and not as the tail. And you shall be always above, and not beneath. But only if you will listen to the commandments of the Lord your God, which I entrust to you this day, and will keep and do them,
13 Y te pondrá Jehová por cabeza, y no por cola: y estarás encima solamente, y no estarás debajo; cuando obedecieres á los mandamientos de Jehová tu Dios, que yo te ordeno hoy, para que [los] guardes y cumplas.
13 Yahweh will make you the head, and not the tail. You will be above only, and you will not be beneath, if you listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God which I command you today, to observe and to do,
14 and will not turn aside from them, neither to the right, nor to the left, nor follow strange gods, nor worship them.
14 Y no te apartes de todas las palabras que yo os mando hoy, ni á diestra ni á siniestra, para ir tras dioses ajenos para servirles.
14 and shall not turn away from any of the words which I command you today, to the right hand or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
15 But if you are not willing to listen to the voice of the Lord your God, so as to keep and do all his commandments and ceremonies, which I instruct to you this day, all these curses shall come to you, and take hold of you.
15 Y será, si no oyeres la voz de Jehová tu Dios, para cuidar de poner por obra todos sus mandamientos y sus estatutos, que yo te intimo hoy, que vendrán sobre ti todas estas maldiciones, y te alcanzarán.
15 But it shall come to pass, if you will not listen to Yahweh your God’s voice, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come on you and overtake you.
16 Cursed shall you be in the city, cursed in the field.
16 Maldito serás tu en la ciudad, y maldito en el campo.
16 You will be cursed in the city, and you will be cursed in the field.
17 Cursed shall be your barn, and cursed your storehouses.
17 Maldito tu canastillo, y tus sobras.
17 Your basket and your kneading trough will be cursed.
18 Cursed shall be the fruit of your loins, and the fruit of your land, the herds of your oxen, and the flocks of your sheep.
18 Maldito el fruto de tu vientre, y el fruto de tu tierra, y la cría de tus vacas, y los rebaños de tus ovejas.
18 The fruit of your body, the fruit of your ground, the increase of your livestock, and the young of your flock will be cursed.
19 Cursed shall you be entering, and cursed departing.
19 Maldito serás en tu entrar, y maldito en tu salir.
19 You will be cursed when you come in, and you will be cursed when you go out.
20 The Lord will send famine and hunger upon you, and a rebuke upon all the works that you do, until he quickly crushes and perishes you, because of your very wicked innovations, by which you have forsaken me.
20 Y Jehová enviará contra ti la maldición, quebranto y asombro en todo cuanto pusieres mano é hicieres, hasta que seas destruído, y perezcas presto á causa de la maldad de tus obras, por las cuales me habrás dejado.
20 Yahweh will send on you cursing, confusion, and rebuke in all that you put your hand to do, until you are destroyed and until you perish quickly, because of the evil of your doings, by which you have forsaken me.
21 May the Lord join a pestilence to you, until he consumes you from the land, which you shall enter so as to possess.
21 Jehová hará que se te pegue mortandad, hasta que te consuma de la tierra á la cual entras para poseerla.
21 Yahweh will make the pestilence cling to you, until he has consumed you from off the land where you go in to possess it.
22 May the Lord strike you with destitution, with fever and cold, with burning and heat, and with polluted air and rot, and may he pursue you until you perish.
22 Jehová te herirá de tisis, y de fiebre, y de ardor, y de calor, y de cuchillo, y de calamidad repentina, y con añublo; y perseguirte han hasta que perezcas.
22 Yahweh will strike you with consumption, with fever, with inflammation, with fiery heat, with the sword, with blight, and with mildew. They will pursue you until you perish.
23 May the heavens which are above you be of brass, and may the ground upon which you tread be of iron.
23 Y tus cielos que están sobre tu cabeza, serán de metal; y la tierra que está debajo de ti, de hierro.
23 Your sky that is over your head will be bronze, and the earth that is under you will be iron.
24 May the Lord give you dust instead of rain upon your land, and may ashes descend from heaven over you, until you have been wiped away.
24 Dará Jehová por lluvia á tu tierra polvo y ceniza: de los cielos descenderán sobre ti hasta que perezcas.
24 Yahweh will make the rain of your land powder and dust. It will come down on you from the sky, until you are destroyed.
25 May the Lord hand you over to fall before your enemies. May you go forth against them by one way, and flee by seven ways, and may you be scattered across all the kingdoms of the earth.
25 Jehová te entregará herido delante de tus enemigos: por un camino saldrás á ellos, y por siete caminos huirás delante de ellos: y serás sacudido á todos los reinos de la tierra.
25 Yahweh will cause you to be struck before your enemies. You will go out one way against them, and will flee seven ways before them. You will be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth.
26 And may your carcass be food for all the flying things of the air and the wild beasts of the land, and may there be no one to drive them away.
26 Y será tu cuerpo muerto por comida á toda ave del cielo y bestia de la tierra, y no habrá quien las espante.
26 Your dead bodies will be food to all birds of the sky, and to the animals of the earth; and there will be no one to frighten them away.
27 May the Lord strike you with the ulcer of Egypt, and may he strike the part of your body, through which the dung goes out, with disease as well as itch, so much so that you are unable to be cured.
27 Jehová te herirá de la plaga de Egipto, y con almorranas, y con sarna, y con comezón, de que no puedas ser curado.
27 Yahweh will strike you with the boils of Egypt, with the tumors, with the scurvy, and with the itch, of which you can not be healed.
28 May the Lord strike you with frenzy and blindness and a madness of the mind.
28 Jehová te herirá con locura, y con ceguedad, y con pasmo de corazón.
28 Yahweh will strike you with madness, with blindness, and with astonishment of heart.
29 And may you grope at midday, just as a blind man is accustomed to grope in darkness, and may your paths not be straight. And at all times may you suffer slander and be oppressed with violence, and may you have no one who may free you.
29 Y palparás al mediodía, como palpa el ciego en la oscuridad, y no serás prosperado en tus caminos: y nunca serás sino oprimido y robado todos los días, y no habrá quien te salve.
29 You will grope at noonday, as the blind gropes in darkness, and you shall not prosper in your ways. You will only be oppressed and robbed always, and there will be no one to save you.
30 May you take a wife, though another sleeps with her. May you build a house, but not live within it. May you plant a vineyard, and not gather its vintage.
30 Te desposarás con mujer, y otro varón dormirá con ella; edificarás casa, y no habitarás en ella; plantarás viña, y no la vendimiarás.
30 You will betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her. You will build a house, and you won’t dwell in it. You will plant a vineyard, and not use its fruit.
31 May your ox be immolated before you, though you do not eat from it. May your donkey be seized in your sight, and not restored to you. May your sheep be given to your enemies, and may there be no one who may help you.
31 Tu buey será matado delante de tus ojos, y tú no comerás de él; tu asno será arrebatado de delante de ti, y no se te volverá; tus ovejas serán dadas á tus enemigos, y no tendrás quien te [las] rescate.
31 Your ox will be slain before your eyes, and you will not eat any of it. Your donkey will be violently taken away from before your face, and will not be restored to you. Your sheep will be given to your enemies, and you will have no one to save you.
32 May your sons and your daughters be handed over to another people, as your eyes watch and languish at the sight of them throughout the day, and may there be no strength in your hand.
32 Tus hijos y tus hijas serán entregados á otro pueblo, y tus ojos lo verán, y desfallecerán por ellos todo el día: y no habrá fuerza en tu mano.
32 Your sons and your daughters will be given to another people. Your eyes will look and fail with longing for them all day long. There will be no power in your hand.
33 May a people you do not know eat the fruits of your land and of all your labors. And may you continually suffer from slander and oppression every day.
33 El fruto de tu tierra y todo tu trabajo comerá pueblo que no conociste; y nunca serás sino oprimido y quebrantado todos los días.
33 A nation which you don’t know will eat the fruit of your ground and all of your work. You will only be oppressed and crushed always,
34 And may you be stupefied at the terror of the things your eyes will see.
34 Y enloquecerás á causa de lo que verás con tus ojos.
34 so that the sights that you see with your eyes will drive you mad.
35 May the Lord strike you with a very grievous ulcer in the knees and in the legs, and may you be unable to attain health, from the sole of the foot to the top of the head.
35 Herirte ha Jehová con maligna pústula en las rodillas y en las piernas, sin que puedas ser curado: [aun] desde la planta de tu pie hasta tu mollera.
35 Yahweh will strike you in the knees and in the legs with a sore boil, of which you cannot be healed, from the sole of your foot to the crown of your head.
36 May the Lord lead you and your king, whom you will have appointed over yourself, into a nation which you and your fathers have not known. And there you will serve foreign gods, of wood and of stone.
36 Jehová llevará á ti, y á tu rey que hubieres puesto sobre ti, á gente que no conociste tú ni tus padres; y allá servirás á dioses ajenos, al palo y á la piedra.
36 Yahweh will bring you, and your king whom you will set over yourselves, to a nation that you have not known, you nor your fathers. There you will serve other gods of wood and stone.
37 And you will become nothing but a proverb and a fable to all the peoples to whom the Lord will lead you.
37 Y serás por pasmo, por ejemplo y por fábula, á todos los pueblos á los cuales te llevará Jehová.
37 You will become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword among all the peoples where Yahweh will lead you away.
38 You will sow much seed upon the ground, but you will harvest little. For the locusts will devour everything.
38 Sacarás mucha simiente al campo, y cogerás poco; porque la langosta lo consumirá.
38 You will carry much seed out into the field, and will gather little in, for the locust will consume it.
39 You will dig and plant a vineyard, but you will not drink the wine, nor gather anything at all from it. For it will be devastated by worms.
39 Plantarás viñas y labrarás, mas no beberás vino, ni cogerás [uvas]; porque el gusano las comerá.
39 You will plant vineyards and dress them, but you will neither drink of the wine, nor harvest, because worms will eat them.
40 You will have olive trees in all your borders, but you will not be anointed with the oil. For the olives will fall off and perish.
40 Tendrás olivas en todo tu término, mas no te ungirás con el aceite; porque tu aceituna se caerá.
40 You will have olive trees throughout all your borders, but you won’t anoint yourself with the oil, for your olives will drop off.
41 You will conceive sons and daughters, and you will not enjoy them. For they will be led into captivity.
41 Hijos é hijas engendrarás, y no serán para ti; porque irán en cautiverio.
41 You will father sons and daughters, but they will not be yours, for they will go into captivity.
42 Rot will consume all the trees, as well as the fruits of your land.
42 Toda tu arboleda y el fruto de tu tierra consumirá la langosta.
42 Locusts will consume all of your trees and the fruit of your ground.
43 The new arrival who lives with you in the land will ascend over you, and be higher. But you will descend, and be lower.
43 El extranjero que estará en medio de ti subirá sobre ti muy alto, y tú serás puesto muy bajo.
43 The foreigner who is among you will mount up above you higher and higher, and you will come down lower and lower.
44 He will lend to you, and you will not lend to him. He will be as the head, and you will be as the tail.
44 El te prestará á ti, y tú no prestarás á él: él será por cabeza, y tú serás por cola.
44 He will lend to you, and you won’t lend to him. He will be the head, and you will be the tail.
45 And all these curses shall come to you, and shall pursue you, and shall take hold of you, until you pass away, because you would not listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and you would not serve his commandments and ceremonies, which he has instructed to you.
45 Y vendrán sobre ti todas estas maldiciones, y te perseguirán, y te alcanzarán hasta que perezcas; por cuanto no habrás atendido á la voz de Jehová tu Dios, para guardar sus mandamientos y sus estatutos, que él te mandó:
45 All these curses will come on you, and will pursue you and overtake you, until you are destroyed, because you didn’t listen to Yahweh your God’s voice, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded you.
46 And there will be the signs and portents with you, and with your offspring, forever.
46 Y serán en ti por señal y por maravilla, y en tu simiente para siempre.
46 They will be for a sign and for a wonder to you and to your offspring forever.
47 Because you did not serve the Lord your God, with gladness and a joyful heart, over the abundance of all things.
47 Por cuanto no serviste á Jehová tu Dios con alegría y con gozo de corazón, por la abundancia de todas las cosas;
47 Because you didn’t serve Yahweh your God with joyfulness and with gladness of heart, by reason of the abundance of all things;
48 You will serve your enemy, whom the Lord will send to you, in hunger and thirst and nakedness, and in destitution of all things. And he will place an iron yoke upon your neck, until he has crushed you.
48 Servirás por tanto á tus enemigos que enviare Jehová contra ti, con hambre y con sed y con desnudez, y con falta de todas las cosas; y él pondrá yugo de hierro sobre tu cuello, hasta destruirte.
48 therefore you will serve your enemies whom Yahweh sends against you, in hunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in lack of all things. He will put an iron yoke on your neck until he has destroyed you.
49 The Lord will lead over you a nation from far away, even from the furthest parts of the earth, like an eagle flying with great force, whose language you are not able to understand:
49 Jehová traerá sobre ti gente de lejos, del cabo de la tierra, que vuele como águila, gente cuya lengua no entiendas;
49 Yahweh will bring a nation against you from far away, from the end of the earth, as the eagle flies: a nation whose language you will not understand,
50 a very insolent nation, which will show no deference to elders, nor take pity on little ones.
50 Gente fiera de rostro, que no tendrá respeto al anciano, ni perdonará al niño:
50 a nation of fierce facial expressions, that doesn’t respect the elderly, nor show favor to the young.
51 And he will devour the fruit of your cattle, and the fruits of your land, until you have passed away, without leaving behind you wheat, or wine, or oil, or herds of oxen, or flocks of sheep: until he utterly destroys you.
51 Y comerá el fruto de tu bestia y el fruto de tu tierra, hasta que perezcas: y no te dejará grano, ni mosto, ni aceite, ni la cría de tus vacas, ni los rebaños de tus ovejas, hasta destruirte.
51 They will eat the fruit of your livestock and the fruit of your ground, until you are destroyed. They also won’t leave you grain, new wine, oil, the increase of your livestock, or the young of your flock, until they have caused you to perish.
52 And he will crush you in all your cities. And your strong and lofty walls, in which you trusted, will be destroyed throughout all your land. You will be besieged within your gates throughout all your land, which the Lord your God will give to you.
52 Y te pondrá cerco en todas tus ciudades, hasta que caigan tus muros altos y encastillados en que tú confías, en toda tu tierra: te cercará, pues, en todas tus ciudades y en toda tu tierra, que Jehová tu Dios te habrá dado.
52 They will besiege you in all your gates until your high and fortified walls in which you trusted come down throughout all your land. They will besiege you in all your gates throughout all your land which Yahweh your God has given you.
53 And you will eat the fruit of your womb, and the flesh of your sons and of your daughters, which the Lord your God will give to you, due to the anguish and devastation with which your enemy will oppress you.
53 Y comerás el fruto de tu vientre, la carne de tus hijos y de tus hijas que Jehová tu Dios te dió, en el cerco y en el apuro con que te angustiará tu enemigo.
53 You will eat the fruit of your own body, the flesh of your sons and of your daughters, whom Yahweh your God has given you, in the siege and in the distress with which your enemies will distress you.
54 The man who is pampered and very self-indulgent among you will vie with his own brother, and with the wife who lies at his bosom,
54 El hombre tierno en ti, y el muy delicado, su ojo será maligno para con su hermano, y para con la mujer de su seno, y para con el resto de sus hijos que le quedaren;
54 The man who is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye will be evil toward his brother, toward the wife whom he loves, and toward the remnant of his children whom he has remaining,
55 lest he give to them from the flesh of his sons, which he will eat. For he has nothing else due to the siege and the destitution, with which your enemies will devastate you within all your gates.
55 Para no dar á alguno de ellos de la carne de sus hijos, que él comerá, porque nada le habrá quedado, en el cerco y en el apuro con que tu enemigo te oprimirá en todas tus ciudades.
55 so that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he will eat, because he has nothing left to him, in the siege and in the distress with which your enemy will distress you in all your gates.
56 The tender and pampered woman, who would not walk upon the soil, nor step firmly with her foot due to her very great softness and tenderness, will vie with her husband, who lies at her bosom, over the flesh of son and of daughter,
56 La tierna y la delicada entre vosotros, que nunca la planta de su pie probó á sentar sobre la tierra, de ternura y delicadeza, su ojo será maligno para con el marido de su seno, y para con su hijo, y para con su hija,
56 The tender and delicate woman among you, who would not venture to set the sole of her foot on the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye will be evil toward the husband that she loves, toward her son, toward her daughter,
57 and over the filth of the afterbirth, which goes forth from between her thighs, and over the children who are born in the same hour. For they will eat them secretly, due to the scarcity of all things during the siege and the devastation, with which your enemy will oppress you within your gates.
57 Y para con su chiquita que sale de entre sus pies, y para con sus hijos que pariere; pues los comerá escondidamente, á falta de todo, en el cerco y en el apuro con que tu enemigo te oprimirá en tus ciudades.
57 toward her young one who comes out from between her feet, and toward her children whom she bears; for she will eat them secretly for lack of all things in the siege and in the distress with which your enemy will distress you in your gates.
58 If you will not keep and do all the words of this law, which have been written in this volume, and fear his glorious and terrible name, that is, the Lord your God,
58 Si no cuidares de poner por obra todas las palabras de aquesta ley que están escritas en este libro, temiendo este nombre glorioso y terrible, JEHOVÁ TU DIOS,
58 If you will not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that you may fear this glorious and fearful name, YAHWEH your God,
59 then the Lord will increase your plagues, and the plagues of your offspring, plagues great and long-lasting, infirmities very grievous and continuous.
59 Jehová aumentará maravillosamente tus plagas y las plagas de tu simiente, plagas grandes y estables, y enfermedades malignas y duraderas;
59 then Yahweh will make your plagues and the plagues of your offspring fearful, even great plagues, and of long duration, and severe sicknesses, and of long duration.
60 And he will turn back upon you all the afflictions of Egypt, which you fear, and these will cling to you.
60 Y hará volver sobre ti todos los males de Egipto, delante de los cuales temiste, y se te pegarán.
60 He will bring on you again all the diseases of Egypt, which you were afraid of; and they will cling to you.
61 In addition, the Lord will lead over you all the diseases and plagues that are not written in the volume of this law, until he crushes you.
61 Asimismo toda enfermedad y toda plaga que no está escrita en el libro de esta ley, Jehová la enviará sobre ti, hasta que tú seas destruído.
61 Also every sickness and every plague which is not written in the book of this law, Yahweh will bring them on you until you are destroyed.
62 And you will remain few in number, though you were before like the stars of heaven in multitude, because you would not listen to the voice of the Lord your God.
62 Y quedaréis en poca gente, en lugar de haber sido como las estrellas del cielo en multitud; por cuanto no obedeciste á la voz de Jehová tu Dios.
62 You will be left few in number, even though you were as the stars of the sky for multitude, because you didn’t listen to Yahweh your God’s voice.
63 And just as before, when the Lord rejoiced over you, doing good for you and multiplying you, so shall he rejoice, scattering and overturning you, so as to take you away from the land, which you shall enter in order to possess.
63 Y será que como Jehová se gozó sobre vosotros para haceros bien, y para multiplicaros, así se gozará Jehová sobre vosotros para arruinaros, y para destruiros; y seréis arrancados de sobre la tierra, á la cual entráis para poseerla.
63 It will happen that as Yahweh rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you, so Yahweh will rejoice over you to cause you to perish and to destroy you. You will be plucked from the land that you are going in to possess.
64 The Lord will disperse you among all the peoples, from the heights of the earth to its furthest limits. And there you will serve foreign gods of wood and of stone, which you and your fathers did not know.
64 Y Jehová te esparcirá por todos los pueblos, desde el un cabo de la tierra hasta el otro cabo de ella; y allí servirás á dioses ajenos que no conociste tú ni tus padres, al leño y á la piedra.
64 Yahweh will scatter you among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other end of the earth. There you will serve other gods which you have not known, you nor your fathers, even wood and stone.
65 Similarly, you will not have tranquility, even within those nations, nor will there be any rest for the steps of your feet. For the Lord will give to you in that place a fearful heart, and failing eyes, and a life consumed with grieving.
65 Y ni aun entre las mismas gentes descansarás, ni la planta de tu pie tendrá reposo; que allí te dará Jehová corazón temeroso, y caimiento de ojos, y tristeza de alma:
65 Among these nations you will find no ease, and there will be no rest for the sole of your foot; but Yahweh will give you there a trembling heart, failing of eyes, and pining of soul.
66 And your life will be as if it were hanging before you. You will be afraid night and day, and you will not have confidence in your own life.
66 Y tendrás tu vida [como] colgada delante de ti, y estarás temeroso de noche y de día, y no confiarás de tu vida.
66 Your life will hang in doubt before you. You will be afraid night and day, and will have no assurance of your life.
67 In the morning you will say, ‘Who will grant evening to me?’ and at evening, ‘Who will grant morning to me?’ because of the dread of your heart, with which you will be terrified, and because of those things that you will see with your eyes.
67 Por la mañana dirás: ¡Quién diera fuese la tarde! y á la tarde dirás: ¡Quién diera fuese la mañana! por el miedo de tu corazón con que estarás amedrentado, y por lo que verán tus ojos.
67 In the morning you will say, “I wish it were evening!” and at evening you will say, “I wish it were morning!” for the fear of your heart which you will fear, and for the sights which your eyes will see.
68 The Lord will lead you back into Egypt with a fleet of ships, along the way, about which he said to you that you would not see it again. In that place, you will be put up for sale as men and women servants to your enemies, but there will be no one willing to buy you.”
68 Y Jehová te hará tornar á Egipto en navíos por el camino del cual te ha dicho: Nunca más volveréis: y allí seréis vendidos á vuestros enemigos por esclavos y por esclavas, y no habrá quien os compre.
68 Yahweh will bring you into Egypt again with ships, by the way of which I told you that you would never see it again. There you will offer yourselves to your enemies for male and female slaves, and nobody will buy you.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

    … ready to fall down, if a person leaving the whole, has patched up the foundation, straightway we say, he has made it new, when he has taken some parts away, and brought others into their place. For even the heaven also is thus called new,' when it is no longer of brass,' but gives rain; and the earth likewise is …
