SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:16
Y consumirás a todos los pueblos que te da el SEÑOR tu Dios; no los perdonará tu ojo; ni servirás a sus dioses, que te será tropiezo.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 16. And thou shall consume all the people which the Lord thy God shall deliver thee , etc.] All the inhabitants of the land of Canaan, which the Lord should deliver into their hands; them they were not to spare, but utterly destroy men, women, and children: thine eye shall have no pity upon them ; (see Gill on “ Deuteronomy 7:2”), neither shall thou serve their gods, for that will be a snare unto thee ; which will bring into utter ruin and destruction; (see Exodus 23:33).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 12-26 - We are in danger of having fellowship with the works of darkness if we take pleasure in fellowship with those who do such works. Whateve brings us into a snare, brings us under a curse. Let us be constant to our duty, and we cannot question the constancy of God's mercy. Disease are God's servants; they go where he sends them, and do what he bid them. It is therefore good for the health of our bodies, thoroughly to mortify the sin of our souls; which is our rule of duty. Yet sin is never totally destroyed in this world; and it actually prevails in u much more than it would do, if we were watchful and diligent. In all this the Lord acts according to the counsel of his own will; but tha counsel being hid from us, forms no excuse for our sloth an negligence, of which it is in no degree the cause. We must not think that because the deliverance of the church, and the destruction of the enemies of the soul, are not done immediately, therefore they wil never be done. God will do his own work in his own method and time; an we may be sure that they are always the best. Thus corruption is drive out of the hearts of believers by little and little. The work of sanctification is carried on gradually; but at length there will be complete victory. Pride, security, and other sins that are commo effects of prosperity, are enemies more dangerous than beasts of the field, and more apt to increase upon us __________________________________________________________________
