19 And when your eyes are lifted up to heaven, and you see the sun and the moon and the stars, all the army of heaven, do not let yourselves be moved to give them worship, or become the servants of what the Lord has given equally to all peoples under heaven.


Commentary on this verse  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 19. And lest the understanding be lifted up with pride, and when the delights are perceived of self-love, the love of the world, and all the falses derived from them which surround self-love, the soul should be compelled by the natural evil inclination of the heart to worship and love them supremely, though these things were intended by the goodness and wisdom of the Lord to be subservient to all the good thoughts and affections implanted by Him in the soul.
