Deuteronomy 32:22 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

A fire is kindled, i.e. great and grievous judgments shall be inflicted, which oft come under the name of fire, &c. See Deuteronomy 4:24 Ezekiel 30:8 Amos 2:2,5. Unto the lowest hell, or, unto hell, or the graves beneath. The sense is, it shall not only burn up all the corn and fruits and buildings which appear above ground, but it shall reach to the inwards and depths of the earth, and burn up the very roots and hopes of future increase.

Deuteronomy 32:22

22 For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burnd unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
