SEV Biblia, Chapter 32:19
¶ Y lo vio el SEŃOR, y se encendió con ira, a causa de sus hijos y de sus hijas.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:19
Verse 19. When the Lord saw it, &c.] More literally, And the Lord saw it, and through indignation he reprobated his sons and his daughters. That is, When the Lord shall see such conduct, he shall be justly incensed, and so reject and deliver up to captivity his sons and daughters.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 19. And when the Lord saw [it] , etc.] The disregard of the Jews to Christ, their forgetfulness of him, their disesteem and rejection of him; their continuance of sacrifices, when the great sacrifice was offered up; their setting up other messiahs and saviours, and the idol of their own righteousness, in opposition to the righteousness of Christ; all which not only as the omniscient God he saw, but took notice of, and considered, and did not at once pass judgment on them, at least did not immediately execute it, but waited some time to see how they would afterwards behave; for it was thirty years or more after the crucifixion of Christ that the utter destruction of the Jews came upon them: he abhorred [them] ; in his heart, despised them, and at last rejected them with contempt and abhorrence, very righteously and in just retaliation, (see Zechariah 11:8); as for what before observed, so for what follows: because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters ; which is not to be understood of the Lord being provoked to wrath by the sins of those who called themselves or were called his sons and daughters; for these are such who were truly his sons and daughters, and different from those in ( Deuteronomy 32:20), said to be “children in whom [is] no faith”: these are no other than the disciples and followers of Christ, that believed in him, both men and women, and so the children of God, his sons and his daughters by special grace; and the “provoking” of them is the wrath of the enemy against them, as the same word is used and rendered in ( Deuteronomy 32:27); and should be here, “because of wrath”, or “indignation against his sons and his daughters” f597 ; meaning the affliction, distress, and persecution of them, through the wrath of the unbelieving Jews; for after the death of Christ they persecuted his apostles, they beat them and cast them into prison, and put some to death; a persecution was raised against the church at Jerusalem, in which Saul was concerned, who breathed out threatenings and slaughters against the disciples of the Lord, and haled men and women, the sons and daughters of God, and committed them to prison, and persecuted them to strange cities, and gave his voice to put them to death; and in the Gentile world, when the Gospel was carried there, the Jews stirred up the Gentiles everywhere against the followers of Christ, to harass and distress them; and this the Lord saw, and he abhorred them for it, and rejected them.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 19-25 - The revolt of Israel was described in the foregoing verses, and her follow the resolves of Divine justice as to them. We deceive ourselves if we think that God will be mocked by a faithless people. Sin makes u hateful in the sight of the holy God. See what mischief sin does, an reckon those to be fools that mock at it.
