11 And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is among you.
11 Then all Israel will hear and be afraid, and no one among you will do such an evil thing again.
11 And all Israel shall hear and fear and never again do any such wickedness as this among you.
11 Every man, woman, and child in Israel will hear what's been done and be in awe. No one will dare to do an evil thing like this again.
11 So all Israel shall hear and fear, and not again do such wickedness as this among you.
11 Then all Israel will hear about it and be afraid, and no one will act so wickedly again.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Deuteronomy 13:11
Commentary on Deuteronomy 13:6-11
(Read Deuteronomy 13:6-11)
It is the policy of Satan to try to lead us to evil by those whom we love, whom we least suspect of any ill design, and whom we are desirous to please, and apt to conform to. The enticement here is supposed to come from a brother or child, who are near by nature; from a wife or friend, who are near by choice, and are to us as our souls. But it is our duty to prefer God and religion, before the nearest and dearest friends we have in the world. We must not, to please our friends, break God's law. Thou shalt not consent to him, nor go with him, not for company, or curiosity, not to gain his affections. It is a general rule, If sinners entice thee, consent thou not, Proverbs 1:10. And we must not hinder the course of God's justice.
