Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

The blessings are here put before the curses, to intimate, 1. That God is slow to anger, but swift to show mercy: he has said it, and sworn, that he would much rather we would obey and live than sin and die. It is his delight to bless.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

): A nation from far, namely, the Romans, as swift as the eagle hastening to the prey. Our Saviour makes use of this similitude, in foretelling this destruction, that where the carcase is there will the eagles be gathered together, Matt. xxiv. And bishop Patrick observes (to make the accomplishment the more remarkable) that the ensign of the Roman armies was an eagle.
