• Deut. 28:45-57 states that if Israel broke Jehovah’s law the curse of an invading army would come upon them in judgment leaving the young and the old in death. Death is written across this psalm in the most solemn way. It describes the remnant representing the nation under a deep and dreaded sense of having broken Jehovah’s law and consequently feeling the curse of it. (“Book 3.” by B. Anstey)
