Deuteronomio 31:20

20 Pues los haré entrar en la tierra que juré dar a sus antepasados, una tierra donde fluyen la leche y la miel. Allí llegarán a ser prósperos, comerán todo lo que quieran y engordarán. Pero comenzarán a rendir culto a otros dioses; me despreciarán y romperán mi pacto.

Deuteronomio 31:20 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 31:20

For when I shall have brought them into the land which I
sware unto their fathers
To give it to them, and put them into the possession of it, even the land of Canaan, often thus described, and as it is by the following character:

that floweth with milk and honey;
aboundeth with all good things; see ( Exodus 3:8 ) ;

and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxen fat;
that is, after they have for a considerable time enjoyed the good things of the land, and they abound with them, and increase in them, and have great fullness of them:

then will they turn unto other gods:
turn from the Lord who has brought them into all this plenty, from the fear, worship, and service of him, and turn to the worship of idols:

and serve them:
the works of men's hands, and at most but creatures, and not the Creator; than which nothing can be more absurd and stupid, as well as wicked and ungrateful:

and provoke me:
nothing being more provoking to the Lord than idolatry, it striking at his very nature, being, and glory:

and break my covenant;
now made with them; this being foretold by the Lord, which exactly came to pass in numerous instances, proves his precise foreknowledge of future events, even such as depend on the inclinations, dispositions, and wills of men.

Deuteronomio 31:20 In-Context

18 En esos días esconderé mi rostro de ellos debido a toda la maldad que cometen al rendir culto a otros dioses.

19 »Por lo tanto, escribe este canto y enséñalo a los israelitas. Ayúdalos a que lo aprendan, para que me sirva de testigo contra ellos.

20 Pues los haré entrar en la tierra que juré dar a sus antepasados, una tierra donde fluyen la leche y la miel. Allí llegarán a ser prósperos, comerán todo lo que quieran y engordarán. Pero comenzarán a rendir culto a otros dioses; me despreciarán y romperán mi pacto.

21 Entonces cuando les ocurran grandes calamidades, este canto servirá de prueba en su contra, porque sus descendientes jamás lo olvidarán. Yo conozco las intenciones de este pueblo, incluso ahora que todavía no han entrado en la tierra que prometí darles».

22 Así que, ese mismo día, Moisés escribió el canto y lo enseñó a los israelitas.
