申命記 32:29-31 CUNPTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:20-29

The pleading of Divine wisdom. The judicial anger of God is not an uncontrollable passion; it acts in harmony with infinite wisdom. The vast and varied interests of all God's creatures are tenderly considered in the act of judicial retribution. We have here— I. GOD 'S ESTIMATE OF HUMAN DESERT . Were guilty men alone to be considered, no penalty would be too severe as the award for their high-handed offences. Every vestige of merit has disappeared. The consensus of all righteous... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:28-29

The true wisdom. Consider— I. IN WHAT WISDOM CONSISTS . 1. The choice of right ends. 2. Of right means to secure these ends. 3. In harmony with a just and proportioned view of all the circumstances of our situation. When essential circumstances are omitted in the calculation, when the horizon is unduly narrowed, when all-important factors of the situation are left wholly out of account,—it is vain to speak of wisdom. Absolutely, and as regards our standing as... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:28-33

The cause of Israel's rejection was that they were a people utterly destitute of counsel and without understanding. Had they been wise, they would have looked to the end, and acted in a way conducive to their own welfare, instead of rushing upon ruin. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:29

Oh that they were wise , that they understood this; rather, If they were wise they would understand this . They would consider their latter end! i . e . the end to which they were going, the inevitable issue of the course they were taking. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:29

God's pathetic appeal to men. Wisdom is far-seeing. Not content with estimating present experiences and fortunes, it embraces the remoter issues of our choice; it takes in all the possibilities of the future. I. AS THERE HAS BEEN A BEGINNING OF THE PRESENT LIFE , SO THERE WILL COME AN END . II. THE END OF PROBATIONARY LIFE DEMANDS OUR SERIOUS CONSIDERATION . III. THE HIGHEST WISDOM FORECASTS THE WHOLE REACH OF ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:29-35

The short-sightedness of sinners. "Oh that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!" Such is the moan with which this paragraph begins. By "this" is meant the consequence which will certainly follow on their departure from God. By "their latter end" is meant the latter days of their history, when sins which were beforehand in germ should have wrought out to full development. We need not again recount the historical aspects of this serious... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:30

If Israel were wise, they could easily overcome all their foes through the help of the Almighty (Le Deuteronomy 26:8 ); but having forsaken him, they were left by him, and so came under the power of the enemy. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:30-35

The devil's counterfeit coin. It is not in the power of Satan to originate any new thing. Knowing that his power is restricted, the utmost he can do is to make spurious imitations of God's good things. His base purpose is to deceive man with spectral illusions. His nefarious design is to raise before the world's eye an empty mirage of a carnal paradise. I. EVERY MAN CRAVES FOR SOME GROUND OF CONFIDENCE , EXTERNAL TO HIMSELF . To the men of the East, this external... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:31

The heathen had also a rock in which they trusted—their idol-gods; but even they knew and felt that their rock was not as the Rock of Israel, for, having often experienced the almighty power of God, they could not but acknowledge that he was mightier far than the gods whom they worshipped (cf. Exodus 14:25 ; Numbers 33:1-56 ; Numbers 34:1-29 .; Joshua 2:9 ; 1 Samuel 5:7 ). Moses is here himself again the speaker. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:31

The superiority of the believer's Rock. Few men but feel that they need a rock of some kind. Only when their mountain stands very strong do they feel as if they were absolutely secure and independent ( Obadiah 1:3 , Obadiah 1:4 ). Even then their trust is in acquired power and riches, which is a "rock" to them, though their confidence often proves delusive (Haman, Nebuchadnezzar, Wolsey). When men have lost faith in religion, they frequently take refuge in the "rock" of philosophy. The... read more
