Deuteronomy 32:35 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

To me belongeth vengeance As the supreme Lord and Judge of the world, whose power no force can resist, from whose knowledge no secret can be concealed, and from whose justice no art can escape. Their feet shall slide Though they think themselves immoveably fixed in their power and prosperity, they shall certainly be visited with national judgments, and overthrown. In due time Though not so soon as some may expect, yet in that time when it shall be thought most proper, when they have filled up the measure of their sins. At hand Hebrew, is near. So the Scripture often speaks of those things which are at many hundred years' distance, to signify, that though they may be afar off as to our measures of time, yet in God's account they are near, they are as near as may be; when the measure of their sins is once full, the judgment shall not be deferred.

Deuteronomy 32:35

35 To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
