Joseph Benson’s Bible Commentary

Leviticus 26:6

I will give peace in the land, &c. As God promises to bless them with plenty, so also to protect them in the secure enjoyment of it. None shall make you afraid You shall be kept from the invasions of enemies from abroad, and from the annoyance of man and beast at home. A very beautiful and striking picture this of national tranquillity.
