How preachers through history handled this text
28 public-domain excerpts on Deuteronomy 32, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“The idolatry and rebellions of Israel deserved, and the justice of God seemed to demand, that they should be rooted out. But He spared Israel, and continues them still to be living witnesses of the truth of the Bible, and to silence unbelievers. They are preserved for wise and holy purposes and the prophecies give us some idea what those purposes are. The Lord will never disgrace the throne of his glory. It is great wisdom, and will help much to the return of sinners to God, seriously to consider their latter end, or the future state. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Deuteronomy 32:26–38 (Public Domain)
