Daniel 11:32 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. Such as do wickedly against the covenant - This if understood of the Christian Jews, for the New had now succeeded to the Old, the whole of the Jewish ritual having been abolished, and Jerusalem filled with heathen temples. And he - the Roman power, did all he could by flatteries, as well as threats, to corrupt the Christians, and cause them to sacrifice to the statues of the emperors.

But the people that do know their God - The genuine Christians.

Shall be strong - Shall be strengthened by his grace and Spirit.

And do exploits - Continue steadfast in all temptations, hold fast their faith, and enjoy a good conscience.
