Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Deuteronomy 32:27

Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the LORD hath not done all this.The wrath — Their rage against me, as it is expressed, Isaiah 37:28,29, their furious reproaches against my name, as if I were cruel to my people or unable to deliver them. The fear hereof is ascribed to God after the manner of men.Strangely — Insolenty and arrogantly above what they used to do. read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Deuteronomy 32:32

For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:For — As if he had said, This is the reason why their rock hath shut them up.Their vine is of the vine of Sodom — The people of Israel, which I planted as a choice vine, are now degenerated and become like the vine of Sodom, their principles and practices are all corrupt and abominable.Bitter — Their fruits are loathsome to me, mischievous to others, and at last... read more

Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?This — All their wickedness mentioned before.

So the scripture often speaks of those... read more
