SEV Biblia, Chapter 29:25
Y responderán: Por cuanto dejaron el pacto del SEÑOR el Dios de sus padres, que él concertó con ellos cuando los sacó de la tierra de Egipto,
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 25. Then men shall say , etc.] The answer that will be returned to the above questions will be this because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord God of their fathers : breakers of covenants with men are always reckoned among the worst of men, (see Romans 1:31); and especially breakers of covenant with God, and with such a God as the God of Israel was, so good, so kind, and gracious; and of such a covenant he made with them, in which so many good things were promised unto them, on condition of their obedience; as the continuance in, such a land they dwelt in, with an abundance of privileges, civil and religious: and this covenant God of theirs was the God of their fathers also; and it was always reckoned an heinous sin among the Heathens to forsake the gods of their ancestors; (see Jeremiah 2:11); which he made with them when he brought them out of the land of Egypt ; which is another aggravation of their breach of the covenant the Lord made with them; it being made with them by that God, and at that time, when he in so wonderful a manner, with such mighty power, and a outstretched arm, and in great kindness and tenderness to them, brought then, out of hard bondage and most wretched slavery in Egypt.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 22-28 - Idolatry would be the ruin of their nation. It is no new thing for God to bring desolating judgments on a people near to him in profession. He never does this without good reason. It concerns us to seek for the reason, that we may give glory to God, and take warning to ourselves Thus the law of Moses leaves sinners under the curse, and rooted out of the Lord's land; but the grace of Christ toward penitent, believin sinners, plants them again in their land; and they shall no more be pulled up, being kept by the power of God.
