신명기 28:34의 인용 해설

37. “If you plant a vineyard, you shall not harvest it.” (Deut. 28:30) The fruit of the land and their efforts shall be consumed by a nation that they do not know while they were busy and oppressed with work every day. “And you will be driven mad by what your eyes behold.” (Deut. 28:34) These verses refer to the Egyptians because until that hour they were convinced they would be saved, since God had given them the strength to withstand the plagues because their nature had helped them making them strong and healthy. Or else they might have withstood the plagues their magic helped them. These things gave them back their vitality but now as they felt their impending death they were driven mad by the sight of their eyes and their dashed hope and loss of prospects. Until now the plagues were listed according to the order of the verses, and therefore they did not occur according to the order in which they occurred. From now on they are listed according to the allusions in the song of the sea.

And you shall be mad like one lying in the midst of the sea.
