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.
