SEV Biblia, Chapter 31:17
Y mi furor se encenderá contra él en el mismo día; y yo los dejaré, y esconderé de ellos mi rostro, y serán consumidos; y le hallarán muchos males y angustias, y dirá en aquel día: ¿No me han hallado estos males porque no está mi Dios en medio de mí?
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 17. Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day , etc.] As the anger of a man is against his wife who has treacherously departed from him: and jealousy, which is the rage of such a man, is very cruel; and much more the wrath and anger of a jealous God, who is a consuming fire: and I will forsake them ; withdraw his favours from them, and his protection of them: and I will hide my face from them ; take no notice of them in a providential way for good, nor hear their cries, to deliver them from evil: and they shall be devoured ; by their enemies, or by the sore judgments of God, by famine, sword, pestilence, and evil beasts, they and their substance: and many evils and troubles shall befall them ; both in their own land, and in other countries, where they would be, and have been carried captive: so that they will say in that day, are not these evils come upon us , because our God [is] not amongst us ? of which they would be sensible by their being exposed to their enemies for want of his protection, and by the evils upon them through his displeasure, and by their being deprived of the good things that came from him; but no intimation is given of their being sensible of their sins as the cause of all this.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 14-22 - Moses and Joshua attended the Divine Majesty at the door of the tabernacle. Moses is told again that he must shortly die; even thos who are most ready and willing to die, need to be often reminded of it coming. The Lord tells Moses, that, after his death, the covenant he had taken so much pains to make between Israel and their God, woul certainly be broken. Israel would forsake Him; then God would forsak Israel. Justly does he cast those off who so unjustly cast him off Moses is directed to deliver them a song, which should remain standing testimony for God, as faithful to them in giving them warning and against them, as persons false to themselves in not taking the warning. The word of God is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of men's hearts, and meets them by reproofs and correction. Ministers wh preach the word, know not the imaginations of men; but God, whose wor it is, knows perfectly.
