SEV Biblia, Chapter 31:20
Porque yo le introduciré en la tierra que juré a sus padres, la cual fluye leche y miel; y comerá, y se saciará, y se engordará; y se volverá a dioses ajenos, y les servirán, y me enojarán, y anularán mi pacto.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 20. For when I shall have brought them into the land which I sware unto their fathers , etc.] To give it to them, and put them into the possession of it, even the land of Canaan, often thus described, and as it is by the following character: that floweth with milk and honey ; aboundeth with all good things; (see Exodus 3:8); and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxen fat ; that is, after they have for a considerable time enjoyed the good things of the land, and they abound with them, and increase in them, and have great fullness of them: then will they turn unto other gods : turn from the Lord who has brought them into all this plenty, from the fear, worship, and service of him, and turn to the worship of idols: and serve them : the works of men’s hands, and at most but creatures, and not the Creator; than which nothing can be more absurd and stupid, as well as wicked and ungrateful: and provoke me : nothing being more provoking to the Lord than idolatry, it striking at his very nature, being, and glory: and break my covenant ; now made with them; this being foretold by the Lord, which exactly came to pass in numerous instances, proves his precise foreknowledge of future events, even such as depend on the inclinations, dispositions, and wills of men.
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.
