Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:15-18

We have here a description of the apostasy of Israel from God, which would shortly come to pass, and to which already they had a disposition. One would have thought that a people under so many obligations to their God, in duty, gratitude, and interest, would never have turned from him; but, alas! they turned aside quickly. Here are two great instances of their wickedness, and each of them amounted to an apostasy from God:? I. Security and sensuality, pride and insolence, and the other common... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:19-25

The method of this song follows the method of the predictions in the foregoing chapter, and therefore, after the revolt of Israel from God, described in the Deut. 32:15, 16, here follow immediately the resolves of divine Justice concerning them; we deceive ourselves if we think that God will be thus mocked by a foolish faithless people, that play fast and loose with him. I. He had delighted in them, but now he would reject them with detestation and disdain, Deut. 32:19. When the Lord saw their... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:26-38

After many terrible threatenings of deserved wrath and vengeance, we have here surprising intimations of mercy, undeserved mercy, which rejoices against judgment, and by which it appears that God has no pleasure in the death of sinners, but would rather they should turn and live. I. In jealousy for his own honour, he will not make a full end of them, Deut. 32:26-28. 1. It cannot be denied but that they deserved to be utterly ruined, and that their remembrance should be made to cease from among... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:15

But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked ,.... This is undoubtedly a name of the people of Israel; it is to be met with only in three places more, in Deuteronomy 33:5 ; it is generally thought to come from a word F4 ישר "rectum esse". which signifies upright and righteous, such these people ought to have been, and some among them were; and they generally professed themselves, and outwardly appeared to be upright, just, and righteous persons, and were desirous of being reckoned so; which... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:16

They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods ,.... Or "with others" F8 בזרים "per alios", Cocceius. ; the word "gods" is not in the text, nor were the Jews guilty of worshipping strange gods or idols in the times of Christ, nor had they been from the time of their coming out of the Babylonish captivity; but the word, as Cocceius observes, is used for "another", as in Job 19:27 ; and signifies other saviours, other messiahs, whom the Jews set up when they rejected Christ, the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:17

They sacrificed to devils, not to God ,.... Their sacrifices being continued, when it was the will of God they should cease, were reckoned by him not as, offered to him, but to demons, and to such that were not God; they being therein under the instigation of Satan, and doing his lusts, John 8:44 ; just as Pagans and Papists, worshipping idols under the influence and direction of Satan, are said to worship devils, and sacrifice to them, 1 Corinthians 10:20 ; and indeed setting up their... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:18

Of the rock that begat thee thou art unmindful ,.... The same with the rock of salvation, Deuteronomy 32:15 ; repeated and expressed in different words, that their wretched ingratitude might be taken notice of and observed: begetting is ascribed to this rock, as regeneration is to Christ, 1 John 2:29 ; and was true of some among the Jews: some choose to render the words, "the rock of thy kindred" F11 צור ילדך "rupem cognationis tuae", i.e. "fratrum tuorum", Van Till; see Rom.... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:19

And when the Lord saw it ,.... The disregard of the Jews to Christ, their forgetfulness of him, their disesteem and rejection of him; their continuance of sacrifices, when the great sacrifice was offered up; their setting up other messiahs and saviours, and the idol of their own righteousness, in opposition to the righteousness of Christ; all which not only as the omniscient God he saw, but took notice of, and considered, and did not at once pass judgment on them, at least did not... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:20

And he said, I will hide my face from them ,.... Now the Lord proceeds to pass sentence on the Jews for their ill treatment of his Son, and of his followers; which respects judgments that should come upon them, both spiritual and temporal, or corporeal; the former lies in Deuteronomy 32:20 , and the latter in Deuteronomy 32:22 ; and this the Lord said in his own heart and mind, decreed and determined it within himself, and declared it in his word by his prophets, as here and in other... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:21

They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God ,.... With a false messiah; for after the death of Jesus, the true Messiah, God as well as man, many false Christs arose, as he predicted, and were received for a time, who were mere men, and deceivers; and their now vainly expected messiah, or whom they look for, according to their own sense of him, is no other than a mere creature, and not God: or with the idol of their own righteousness; which, as an idol is nothing in the world,... read more
