Deuteronomy 30:17 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 30:17

But if thine heart turn away
From the true God, and the right worship of him, and from his commands, statutes, and judgments:

so that thou wilt not hear;
the voice of the Lord and obey it, or hearken to his laws, and do them:

but shalt be drawn away;
by an evil heart, and by the ill examples of others:

and worship other gods and serve them;
the gods of the Gentiles, the idols of the people, besides the one living and true God, the God of Israel.
