Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 32:4

Deuteronomy 32:4. He is a rock Stable in his nature, invincible in his power, fixed and immutable in his counsels, promises, and ways; so that if there should be a sad change in your affairs, remember that this proceeds from yourselves, and from the change of your ways toward God, and not from God, with whom is no variableness nor shadow of turning, James 1:17. His work is perfect All his works, whether of creation, providence, or grace, and all his actions are unblameable, perfect,... read more

Deuteronomy 32:5. They have corrupted themselves Notwithstanding that God hath fully displayed these excellences in his dealings with the Israelitish nation, yet how corrupt and ungrateful hath been their behaviour! Their spot The wickedness with which they are stained; is not of his children Plainly shows they are not his children, but of their father the devil, John 8:44. God’s children have no such spot. Indeed, the text does not affirm that they have any spot at all. The Hebrew לא... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:1-47

The song of Moses (31:30-32:47)Being aware of the people’s tendency to rebellion against God (see v. 29), Moses left with them a song that he wanted everyone to take notice of (30). The song reminded the people of God’s loving care for them and of the need for faithfulness on their part towards him. It dealt with the future as well as the past, and reminded the people that in justice God would punish them and in mercy he would forgive them.As rain benefits young grass, so Moses’ words should... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Deuteronomy 32:1

The introduction to this long poem is actually the last verse of the preceding chapter, a chapter which not only credits Moses with the writing of the poem, but also states that he read it to the people in its entirety. Critical scholars usually make a point of denying everything that the Bible says, except in instances here and there, where they think they can find some grounds for supporting their numerous theories. All such denials are exceedingly tiresome, none of them supported by any... read more
