Deuteronomy 31:20

Study

       

20 For when I have taken them into the land named in my oath to their fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey, and they have made themselves full of food and are fat, then they will be turned to other gods and will give them worship, no longer honouring me or keeping my agreement.


Commentary on this verse  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 20. And it shall come to pass that when many evils and troubles have befallen the soul, the truths that are acknowledged by the internal man shall come forth to testify against its evils; for they shall not be forgotten out of the understanding in any future state; for the Lord knows the depravity of man's heart which will lead him astray, and foresees it from the first, and provides accordingly before He gifts him with a new will, and brings him to the heavenly state which He designs for him.
