Commentaries on Deuteronomy 30:1
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 1When all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse - So fully did God foresee the bad use these people would make of their free agency in resisting the Holy Ghost, that he speaks of their sin and punishment as certain; yet, at the same time, shows how they might turn to himself and live, even while he was pouring out his indignation upon them because of their transgressions.Read the comment

They do not consider the promise as fulfilled by their restoration from the captivity in Babylon, for Israel…Read the comment
