Deuteronomy 28:52

Deuteronomy 28:52 -

The high and fenced walls.

God's enemies will ultimately be driven from all their defenses. Cities "great and fenced up to heaven" will be no defense to them, any more than they were to the Canaanites ( Deuteronomy 9:1 ). Horses and chariots ( Psalms 20:7 ), numbers, prowess, wealth ( Proverbs 10:15 ), arts of policy, leagues with foreign powers ( Isaiah 30:1-33 .), afford no protection when God is the besieger. Spiritually, the sinner will ultimately be driven out of every "refuge of lies."

1. Self-righteousness; every mouth shall be stopped ( Romans 3:19 ).

2. False trusts ( Matthew 3:9 ; Matthew 7:22 ).

3. Evasions and excuses ( Matthew 25:26 ; Luke 14:18 ).—J.O.
