Deuteronomio 32:35-45

35 Yo tomaré venganza; yo les pagaré lo que se merecen.
A su debido tiempo, sus pies resbalarán.
Les llegará el día de la calamidad,
y su destino los alcanzará”.
36 »Sin duda, el Señor
hará justicia a su pueblo
y cambiará de parecer acerca de
sus siervos,
cuando vea que ya no tienen fuerzas
y no queda nadie allí, ni siervo ni libre.
37 Y luego preguntará: “¿Dónde están sus dioses,
esas rocas a las que acudieron para refugiarse?
38 ¿Dónde están ahora los dioses
que comían la gordura de sus sacrificios
y bebían el vino de sus ofrendas?
¡Que se levanten esos dioses y los ayuden!
¡Que ellos les den refugio!
39 ¡Miren ahora, yo mismo soy Dios!
¡No hay otro dios aparte de mí!
Yo soy el que mata y el que da vida,
soy el que hiere y el que sana.
¡Nadie puede ser librado de mi mano poderosa!
40 Ahora levanto mi mano al cielo
y declaro: ‘Tan cierto como que yo vivo,
41 cuando afile mi espada reluciente
y comience a hacer justicia,
me vengaré de mis enemigos
y daré su merecido a los que me rechazan.
42 Haré que mis flechas se emborrachen de sangre,
y mi espada devorará carne:
la sangre de los masacrados y cautivos,
y las cabezas de los jefes enemigos’”.
43 »Alégrense con él, oh cielos,
y que lo adoren todos los ángeles de Dios.
Alégrense con su pueblo, oh naciones,
y que todos los ángeles se fortalezcan en él.
Pues él vengará la sangre de sus siervos,
cobrará venganza de sus enemigos.
Dará su merecido a los que lo odian
y limpiará la tierra para su pueblo».
44 Entonces Moisés fue con Josué,
hijo de Nun, y recitó todas las palabras de ese canto al pueblo.
45 Cuando Moisés terminó de recitar todas esas palabras al pueblo de Israel,

Deuteronomio 32:35-45 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO DEUTERONOMY 32

This chapter contains the song mentioned and referred to in the former, the preface to it, De 32:1-3; the character of the divine and illustrious Person it chiefly respects, De 32:4; the ingratitude of the people of the Jews to him, who were a crooked and perverse generation, aggravated by his having bought, made, and established them, De 32:5,6; and which is further aggravated by various instances of divine goodness to them, first in providing and reserving a suitable country for them, at the time of the division of the earth to the sons of men, with the reason of it, De 32:7-9; then by what the Lord did for them in the wilderness, De 32:10-12; after that in the land of Canaan, where they enjoyed plenty of all good things, and in the possession of which they were, when the illustrious Person described appeared among them, De 32:13,14; and then the sin of ingratitude to him, before hinted at, is fully expressed, namely, lightly esteeming the rock of salvation, the Messiah, De 32:15; nor could they stop here, but proceed to more ungodliness, setting up other messiahs and saviours, which were an abomination to the Lord, De 32:16; continuing sacrifices when they should not, which were therefore reckoned no other than sacrifices to demons, and especially the setting up of their new idol, their own righteousness, was highly provoking; and by all this they clearly showed they had forgot the rock, the Saviour, De 32:17,18; wherefore, for the rejection of the Messiah and the, persecution of his followers, they would be abhorred of God, De 32:19; who would show his resentment by the rejection of them, by the calling of the Gentiles, and by bringing the nation of the Romans upon them, De 32:20,21; whereby utter ruin and destruction in all its shapes would be brought upon them, De 32:22-25; and, were it not for the insolence of their adversaries, would be entirely destroyed, being such a foolish and unwise people, which appears by not observing what the enemies of the Messiah themselves allow, that there is no rock like him, whom they despised, De 32:26-31; which enemies are described, and the vengeance reserved for them pointed out, De 32:32-35; and the song closed with promises of grace and mercy to the Lord's people, and wrath and ruin to his and their enemies, on which account all are called upon to rejoice in the latter day, De 32:36-43; and this song being delivered by Moses, the people of Israel are exhorted seriously to attend to it, it being of the utmost importance to them, De 32:44-47; and the chapter is concluded with a relation of Moses being ordered to go up to Mount Nebo and die, with the reason of it, De 32:48-52.
