Context of Deuteronomy 32:36
34Is not this laid up in store with me, Sealed up among my treasures? 35Vengeance is mine, and recompense, At the time when their foot shall slide: For the day of their calamity is at hand, And the things that are to come upon them shall make haste. For Jehovah will judge his people, And repent himself for his servants; When he seeth that their power is gone, And there is noneremaining, shut up or left at large. 37And he will say, Where are their gods, The rock in which they took refuge; 38Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, Anddrank the wine of their drink-offering? Let them rise up and help you, Let them be your protection.

- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 36will change his mind about: When speaking of God, the Old Testament frequently uses figurative language (see study note on 8:2).

Similarly, when the Bible says that God…Read the comment

Give ear, O ye heavens; ... hear, O earth--The magnificence of the exordium, the grandeur of the theme, the frequent and sudden transitions, the elevated strain of the sentiments and language, entitle this song to be ranked amongst the noblest specimens of poetry to be found in the Scriptures.Read the comment
