Deuteronomy 32:21

Study

       

21 They have moved me to jealousy with that which is no ùGod; They have exasperated me with their vanities; And I will move them to jealousy with that which is not a people; With a foolish nation will I provoke them to anger.


Commentary on this verse  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 21. On account of the reception of these false doctrines in the mind, the Lord is compelled for the sake of the ultimate safety of the soul to act vigorously against the unregenerate will; by reason of its perversion and love of empty vanities which lead to no real happiness, He seems to the mind in this state to be against its welfare; and the will becomes zealous about doctrines that are not true; and eager after things that are not really good.
