Deutéronome 32:6-8 BDS

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:4-7

God's righteousness and man's iniquity. The sin of man is only fully seen in contrast with God's righteousness and love. The light is needed to bring out the depth of the shadow. It reveals the "spot." I. GOD 'S FAVOR TO ISRAEL . God's dealings with Israel had been marked by: 1. Rectitude ( Deuteronomy 32:4 ). He had done everything that was just and right to them.

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:5-14

Ungrateful men interrogated. In almost every clause of this paragraph there is some specific allusion, for the elucidation of which the reader will refer to the Exposition.

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:6-7

Instead of gratefully acknowledging the Divine beneficence, and dutifully obeying the Divine will, Israel had perversely and foolishly requited the Lord for all his benefits, by apostasy from him. Do ye thus requite? The verb here signifies primarily to do to any one either good or evil, whether in return for what he has done or not (cf.

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:7-14

History's testimony for God. A defective character often results from mental indolence. Men do not use their faculties. Did they consider, reflect, and ponder, they would be bettor men. To call into activity all our powers is an imperative and sacred duty. For this purpose God has given them.

Ask intelligently and... read more
