Deuteronomy 32
32:1 Give
ear, O ye
a heavens, and I will speak;
and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
(
a) As witness of this people's ingratitude.
32:2 My
b
doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small
rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:
(
b) He desires that he may speak to God's glory
and that the people, as the green grass, may receive the dew of his doctrine.
32:4 [He is] the
c
Rock, his work [is] perfect: for all his ways [are] judgment: a God of truth and
without iniquity, just and right [is] he.
(
c) Or mighty God; noting that only God is
mighty, faithful and constant in his promise.
32:6 Do ye thus requite the
LORD, O foolish people and unwise? [is] not he thy father [that] hath bought
thee? hath he not
d made thee, and
established thee?
(
d) Not according to the common creation, but he
has made you a new creature by his Spirit.
32:8 When the most High divided
to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the
bounds of the
e people according to the
number of the children of Israel.
(
e) When God by his providence divided the world,
he lent for a time that portion to the Canaanites, which would later be an
inheritance for all his people Israel.
32:11 As
an eagle stirreth up her nest,
f
fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them
on her wings:
(
f) To teach them to fly.
32:13 He made him ride on the
high places of the
g earth, that he
might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck
h
honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;
(
g) Meaning, of the land of Canaan, which was
high in respect to Egypt.
(
h) That is, abundance of all things even in the
very rocks.
32:15 i
But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick,
thou art covered [with fatness]; then he forsook God [which] made him, and
lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
(
i) He shows what is the principal end of our
vocation.
32:16 They provoked him to jealousy with
k
strange [gods], with abominations provoked they him to anger.
(
k) By changing his service for their
superstitions.
32:17 They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to
gods whom they knew not, to
l new [gods
that] came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.
(
l) Scripture calls new, whatever man invents, be
the error ever so old.
32:19 And when the LORD saw
[it], he abhorred [them], because of the provoking of his
m
sons, and of his daughters.
(
m) He calls them God's children, not to honour
them, but to show them from what dignity they are fallen.
32:21 They have moved me to
jealousy with [that which is] not God; they have provoked me to anger with their
vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with [those which are] not a
n
people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
(
n) Which I have not favoured, nor given my law
to them.
32:25
The sword
o without, and terror within,
shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling [also] with the
man of gray hairs.
(
o) They shall be slain both in the field and at
home.
32:27 Were it not that I
feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should
p
behave themselves strangely, [and] lest they should say, Our hand [is] high, and
the LORD hath not done all this.
p Rejoicing to see the godly
afflicted, and attributing to themselves that which is wrought by God's
hand.
32:29 O that they were wise,
[that] they understood this, [that] they would
q
consider their latter end!
(
q) They would consider the happiness that was
prepared for them, if they had obeyed God.
32:33
Their
r wine [is] the poison of dragons,
and the cruel venom of asps.
(
r) The fruit of the wicked are as poison,
detestable to God, and dangerous for man.
32:36
For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when
he seeth that [their] power is gone, and [there is] none
s
shut up, or left.
(
s) When neither strong nor weak in a manner
remain.
32:40
For I
t lift up my hand to heaven, and
say, I live for ever.
(
t) That is, I swear, read (
Genesis
14:22).
32:43
Rejoice, O ye nations, [with] his people: for he will avenge the
u
blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be
merciful unto his land, [and] to his people.
(
u) Where the blood of God's people is shed for
their sins or trial of their faith, he promises to avenge it.
32:47
For it [is] not a
x vain thing for you;
because it [is] your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong [your] days
in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.
(
x) For I will perform my promise to you, (
Isaiah
55:10).
32:51
Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of
Meribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye
y
sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel.
(
y) You were not earnest and constant to maintain
my honour.
