F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:15-35

Moses’ Song: Israel’s Response Deuteronomy 32:15-35 “Jeshurun” is a pet name for Israel, implying affection and endearment. The metaphor employed is derived from a pampered animal which, in consequence of rich and plentiful feeding, becomes mischievous and vicious. Let us be warned by these denunciations against backsliding and willful sin. The greatness of our privileges will be the measure of the anguish of our doom. They who are exalted to Heaven by privilege must be cast down to Hades if... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 32:1-52

Here we have the song itself. The first part (verses Deuteronomy 32:1-3; Deuteronomy 32:1-3) consists of a call to attention. Heaven and earth are called to listen while the servant of God proclaims the name of God. This he does immediately (verses Deu 32:3-4 ), celebrating His greatness, His perfection, His justice, His faithfulness. Briefly he refers to the people (verse Deu 32:5 ) and nothing good is said of them. Proceeding with the song, the tender government of God is illustrated in the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 32:34-36

Rather Than Seeking Vengeance Yahweh Will Have Mercy On Them (Deuteronomy 32:34-36 ). Deuteronomy 32:34-35 “Is not this stored up with me, Sealed up among my treasures? Vengeance is mine, and recompense, At the time when their foot shall slip. For the day of their calamity is at hand, And the things that are to come on them will do so speedily.” Yahweh again takes up the narrative. The wicked will not finally triumph, whether they be the unfaithful in Israel or their adversaries. Within His... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 32:1-52

Deuteronomy 32:1-John : . Moses’ Song is a didactic poem, a theodicy in which Yahweh’ s ways are vindicated. In its sentiments and artistic form it is unsurpassed in the poetry of the OT. Its dominant theme is Yahweh’ s justice and lovingkindness to Israel notwithstanding the nation’ s sinfulness. It is impossible to fix the date of this poem with any confidence. But points of contact with Jer., Isaiah 40-55, Ezek., and the Wisdom literature suggest the closing years of the Exile (say 550... read more

i.e. All their wickedness mentioned before. My longsuffering towards them may make them and others think that I have forgotten their sins, but I remember them punctually, they are sealed up as in a bag, Job 14:17, and as men seal up their treasures that nothing be lost; and I shall bring them to their remembrance also. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:1-52

The song composed by Moses and recited to the people as a witness against them. “It embraces the whole future history of Israel, and bears all the marks of prophetic testimony in the perfectly ideal picture which it draws on the one hand, or the benefits and blessings conferred by the Lord upon His people; on the other hand of the ingratitude with which Israel repaid God for them all” (cf. Delitz). The poem divided into six parts.Deuteronomy 32:1-3. Introductory, importance of doctrine... read more

DISCOURSE: 235JUDGMENT NEAR AT HANDDeuteronomy 32:34-35. Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:1-52

Chapter 32So this is the song that Moses taught the children of Israel. And incidentally it was the first hit rock song. It is a song about the Rock.Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God. He is the rock, His work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment, a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is He ( Deuteronomy 32:3-4 ).So the song begins with a declaration of God as our Rock, of His works, His ways, His judgments, His truths, His... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 32:1-52

Deuteronomy 32:1 . Give ear, oh ye heavens, and I will speak. This ode, which is full of rhythm, and of almost every poetic excellence and beauty, has been called the Swan song of Moses, who died singing sublime but mournful notes. The principal words have been much copied by future prophets. It is carmen seculare, a song to the age, of truth, not of flattery. Deuteronomy 32:2 . My doctrine shall drop as the rain. In hieroglyphic writing, rain often designates knowledge and science,... read more
