28 In furious anger and in great wrath the Lord uprooted them from their land and thrust them into another land, as it is now."
28 And the Lord rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.
28 and the Lord uprooted them from their land in anger and fury and great wrath, and cast them into another land, as they are this day.'
28 God, furiously angry, pulled them, roots and all, out of their land and dumped them in another country, as you can see."
28 And the Lord uprooted them from their land in anger, in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.'
28 In great anger and fury the Lord uprooted his people from their land and banished them to another land, where they still live today!'
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Deuteronomy 29:28
Commentary on Deuteronomy 29:22-28
(Read Deuteronomy 29:22-28)
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, believing sinners, plants them again in their land; and they shall no more be pulled up, being kept by the power of God.
