Commentary for Deuteronomy 30:7

וְנָתַן֙ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔יךָ אֵ֥ת כָּל־הָאָל֖וֹת הָאֵ֑לֶּה עַל־אֹיְבֶ֥יךָ וְעַל־שֹׂנְאֶ֖יךָ אֲשֶׁ֥ר רְדָפֽוּךָ׃

And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, that persecuted thee.

Sforno on Deuteronomy

על אויביך ועל שונאיך, both against those who oppose you openly and attack you, as well as against those who hate you only in their hearts without translating their hatred into hostile action. According to Jeremiah 30,11 G’d will eliminate all those nations.

Rav Hirsch on Torah

V. 7. ונתן וגו׳, wie ׳ונתתה את הברכה וגו (Kap. 11. 29). Fortan steht dieselbe Vereidigung über den Völkern mit ihrer Liebe und ihrem Hass. Es erfüllt sich, was Gott dem Abraham bei seinem ersten Eintritt in die Völkergeschichte verheißen (Bereschit 12. 2; — siehe daselbst).
