Job 19-21 - I Know That My Redeemer Lives

My Redeemer Lives

Job 19:2 LSB - [2] "How long will you torment my soul And crush me with words?

Job 19:25-27 LSB - [25] "As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, And at the last He will rise up over the dust [of this world]. [26] "Even after my skin is destroyed, Yet from my flesh I shall behold God, [27] Whom I myself shall behold, And whom my eyes will see and not another. My heart faints within me!

I Know That My Redeemer Lives

Author: Samuel Medley (1775)

1 I know that my Redeemer lives;

what comfort this sweet sentence gives!

He lives, He lives, who once was dead;

He lives, my everlasting Head.

2 He lives triumphant from the grave,

He lives eternally to save,

He lives all-glorious in the sky,

He lives exalted there on high.

3 He lives to bless me with His love,

He lives to plead for me above,

He lives my hungry soul to feed,

He lives to help in time of need.

4 He lives to grant me rich supply,

He lives to guide me with His eye,

He lives to comfort me when faint,

He live to hear my soul's complaint.

5 He lives to silence all my fears,

He lives to wipe away my tears,

He lives to calm my troubled heart,

He lives all blessings to impart.

6 He lives, my kind, wise, heav'nly Friend,

He lives and loves me to the end;

He lives, and while He lives, I'll sing;

He lives, my Prophet, Priest, and King.

7 He lives and grants me daily breath;

He lives and I shall conquer death;

He lives my mansion to prepare;

He lives to bring me safely there.

8 He lives, all glory to His name!

He lives, my Jesus, still the same.

Oh, the sweet joy this sentence gives,

"I know that my Redeemer lives!"

Zophar Says the Joy of the Wicked Is Short

God Does Not Punish the Wicked

Job 16-18 - Troublesome Comforters

Troublesome Comforters

Job 16:2 LSB - [2] "I have heard many such things; Troublesome comforters are you all.

Job 16:19-20 LSB - [19] "Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven, And my advocate is on high. [20] "My friends are my scoffers; My eye weeps to God.

Bildad Speaks of the Downfall of the Wicked

Job 13-15 - Though He slay me

I Will Be Declared Righteous

Job 13:4-5 LSB - [4] "But you cover me with lies; You are all worthless physicians. [5] "O that you would be completely silent, And that it would become your wisdom!

Job 13:15 LSB - [15] "Though He slay me, I will hope in Him. Nevertheless I will argue my ways before Him.

iii. “It is well worthy of observation that in these words Job answered both the accusations of Satan and the charges of his friends. Though I do not know that Job was aware that the devil had said, ‘Doth Job fear God for nought? Hast thou not set a hedge about him and all that he hath?’ Yet he answered that base suggestion in the ablest possible manner, for he did in effect say, ‘Though God should pull down my hedge, and lay me bare as the wilderness itself, yet will I cling to him in firmest faith.’” (Spurgeon)

iv. “There are three things in the text: a terrible supposition — “though he slay me”; a noble resolution, “yet will I trust in him”; and, thirdly, a secret appropriateness. This last will require a little looking into, but I hope to make it clear that there is a great appropriateness in our trusting while God is slaying us — the two things go well together, though it may not so appear.” (Spurgeon)

v. Charles Spurgeon listed several reasons why he thought that “slaying times” were good times.

• Such times show us that we are really His sons and daughters because He only chastens His children.
• Such times — slaying times — are when real faith is created.
• Such times are when God tests and affirms our faith.
• Such times are when we can grow in faith.
• Such times allow the child of God to prove that he is not a mercenary professor of faith.

vi. “Once more, the grim supposition of the text, if ever it was realized by anybody it was realized by our Lord Jesus. Our great covenant Head knows to the full what his members suffer. God did slay him, and glory be to his blessed name, he trusted God while he was being slain.” (Spurgeon)

Job 13:20-23 LSB - [20] "Only two things do not do to me, Then I will not hide from Your face: [21] Move Your hand far from me, And let not the dread of You terrify me. [22] "Then call, and I will answer; Or let me speak, then respond to me. [23] "How many are my iniquities and sins? Make known to me my transgression and my sin.

If a Man Dies, Will He Live Again?

Job 14:1-2 LSB - [1] "Man, who is born of woman, Is short-lived and full of turmoil. [2] "Like a flower he comes forth and withers. He also flees like a shadow and does not stand.

Job 14:13-14 LSB - [13] "Oh that You would conceal me in Sheol, That You would hide me until Your anger returns [to You], That You would set a limit for me and remember me! [14] "If a man dies, will he live [again]? All the days of my labor I will wait Until my change comes.

Eliphaz Says Job’s Lips Answer Against Him

Job 15:4 LSB - [4] "Indeed, you annul [reverent] fear And cut off musing before God.

Job 15:4 ESV - [4] But you are doing away with the fear of God and hindering meditation before God.

Job 15:4 NKJV - [4] Yes, you cast off fear, And restrain prayer before God.

i. Nevertheless, certainly some people do restrain prayer before God. Spurgeon considered ways that some do this.

• Some restrain prayer before God because they do not pray often or regularly.
• Some restrain prayer before God because they do not prepare their hearts properly to pray. They do not consider who they are praying to, the way their prayer should be made, that they are sinners, what they should ask of God, and thankful for what He has done in the past.
• Some restrain prayer before God because they pray in such a formal, strict manner that they never really pour out their heart before God.
• Some restrain prayer before God because they pray with little faith and much unbelief.

Job 15:11 LSB - [11] "Are the consolations of God too small for you, Even the word [spoken] gently with you?

i. “However wrong Eliphaz may have been in reference to Job and in reference to him his remarks were grossly unjust-yet many of them are correct in themselves, and may usefully be applied to our own hearts. Inasmuch as Eliphaz, in this verse, teaches no doctrine, but only asks two searching questions, he cannot mislead us; but he may do us good service.” (Spurgeon)

ii. Spurgeon suggested what some of the consolations of God are that are considered by some to be too small and neglected or rejected:

• The consolations of God are applied by the Holy Spirit, who is the Comforter.
• Jesus is the substance of these consolations, for He is called “The Consolation of Israel”
• (Luke 2:25)
• The consolations of God deal with our problem of sin; its guilt and stain and power.
• The consolations of God assure us of a new heart and nature.
• The consolations of God reveal a reason for sorrow that remains.
• The consolations of God show us One who suffers with us; Jesus Christ.
• The consolations of God compensate us for all trials and sufferings.
• The consolations of God tell us of our heavenly destination and hope.

Job 15:14 LSB - [14] "What is man, that he should be pure, Or he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?

Job 10-12 - Job Cries Out to God

Job Cries Out to God

Job 10:2 LSB - [2] "I will say to God, 'Do not account me as wicked; Let me know why You contend with me.

iv. The tried saint may ask as Job did, “Show me why You contend with me.” Spurgeon suggested several answers:

It may be that God is contending with you to show you His power to uphold you.

It may be that God is contending with you to develop your graces.

It may be that God is contending with you because you have some secret sin that is doing you great damage.

It may be that God is contending with you because He wants you to enter the fellowship of His sufferings.

It may be that God is contending with you to humble you.

v. The seeking sinner might also ask as Job did, “Show me why You contend with me.” Spurgeon suggested several answers to the seeking sinner:

It may be that God is contending with you because you are not yet thoroughly awakened to your lost condition.

It may be that God is contending with you in order to test your earnestness.

It may be that God is contending with you because you are harboring one sin that you will not turn over to Him.

It may be that God is contending with you because you do not yet thoroughly understand the plan of salvation.

vi. Though it was not the case with Job, it is true that God often contends with both saints and sinners to deal with their sin. “Trials often discover sins — sins we should never have found out if it had not been for them. We know that the houses in Russia are very greatly infested with rats and mice. Perhaps a stranger would scarcely notice them at first, but the time when you discover them is when the house is on fire; then they pour out in multitudes. And so doth God sometimes burn up our comforts to make our hidden sins run out; and then he enables us to knock them on the head and get rid of them.” (Spurgeon)

Job 10:9-12 LSB - [9] 'Remember now, that You have made me as clay; And would You turn me into dust again? [10] 'Did You not pour me out like milk And curdle me like cheese, [11] Clothe me with skin and flesh, And knit me together with bones and sinews? [12] 'You have made alongside me life and lovingkindness; And Your care has kept my spirit.

Zophar Asks, Can You Find the Depths of God?

Job 11:16 LSB - [16] "For you would forget [your] trouble, As waters that pass by, so you would remember [it].

ii. “We seem to lie all broken in pieces, with our thoughts like a case of knives cutting into our spirit; and we say to ourselves, ‘We never shall forget this terrible experience.’ And yet, by-and-by, God turns towards us the palm of his hand, and we see that it is full of mercy, we are restored to health, or uplifted from depression of spirit, and we wonder that we ever made so much of our former suffering or depression.” (Spurgeon)

iii. “We remember it no more, except as a thing that has passed and gone, to be recollected with gratitude that we have been delivered from it, but not to be remembered so as to leave any scar upon our spirit, or to cause us any painful reflection whatsoever. ‘Thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away.’” (Spurgeon)

Job 12:4 LSB - [4] "I am a laughingstock to my friends, The one who called on God and He answered him; The righteous [and] blameless [man] is a laughingstock.

Job 12:7-10 LSB - [7] "But now ask the beasts, and let them instruct you; And the birds of the sky, and let them tell you. [8] "Or muse to the earth, and let it instruct you; And let the fish of the sea recount [it] to you. [9] "Who among all these does not know That the hand of Yahweh has done this, [10] In whose hand is the life of every living thing, And the breath of all the flesh of man?

Job Speaks of God’s Strength

Job 12:24-25 LSB - [24] "He removes the heart [of wisdom] from the heads of the earth's people And makes them wander in a pathless waste. [25] "They grope in darkness with no light, And He makes them wander about like a drunken man.

Job 7-9 - One Mediator between God and Men

Job Continues: My Life Has No Hope

Job 7:17 LSB - [17] "What is man that You magnify him, And that You set Your heart on him,

Psa 8:4 LSB - [4] What is man that You remember him, And the son of man that You care for him?

Job 7:20 LSB - [20] "Have I sinned? What have I done to You, O watcher of men? Why have You set me as Your target, So that I am a burden to myself?

iii. Once more, we benefit from knowing the story-behind-the-story, which Job and his friends do not know at this point in the narrative. Job believed that God was against him and was punishing him, but it wasn’t true. “Job was not being punished; he was being honored. God was giving to him a name like that of the great ones of the earth. The Lord was lifting him up, promoting him, putting him into the front rank, making a great saint of him, causing him to become one of the fathers and patterns in the ancient Church of God. He was really doing for Job such extraordinarily good things that you or I, in looking back upon his whole history, might well say, ‘I would be quite content to take Job’s afflictions if I might also have Job’s grace, and Job’s place in the Church of God.’” (Spurgeon)

 

Bildad Claims God Rewards the Good

Job 8:7 LSB - [7] "Though your beginning was insignificant, Yet your end will increase greatly.

i. He was wrong in that he assumed that because Job was not currently in prosperity and abundance, it proved that Job had not made supplication and was not pure and upright. “He wished to prove that Job could not possibly be an upright man, for if he were so, he here affirms that his prosperity would increase continually.” (Spurgeon)

ii. He was right in that Job, in the end of it, did increase abundantly. “It is true, as indeed the facts of the book of Job prove: for Job did greatly increase in his latter end. His beginning was small: he was brought down to poverty! To the potsherd and to the dunghill he had many graves, but no children; he had had many losses, he had now nothing left to lose; and yet God did awake for him; his righteousness came out from the darkness which had eclipsed it; he shone in sevenfold prosperity so that the words of Bildad were prophetic, though he knew it not; God put into his mouth language which did come true, after all.”

 

Job Replies There Is No Adjudicator

Job 9:2 LSB - [2] "In truth I know that this is so; But how can a man be in the right before God?

Job 9:14-15 LSB - [14] "How then can I answer Him, [And] choose my words before Him? [15] "For though I were right, I could not answer; I would have to plead for the grace of my judge.

Job 9:20 LSB - [20] "Though I am righteous, my mouth will condemn me; Though I am blameless, He will declare me perverse.

i. “Years ago, there was, an old man, in Wiltshire, who according to his own statement, was a hundred and three years of age, he had never neglected his parish church, he had brought up eleven children, and had no help from the parish, and he expected that, by-and-by, he should go home to God, for ‘he had never done anything wrong in his life that he knowed about.’ ‘But,’ said someone to him, ‘you are a sinner, you know.’ ‘I know I ain’t,’ he said. ‘Well, but God says that you are.’ And what, think you, did that old man reply? He said, ‘God may say what he likes, but I know I ain’t.’ So, you see, he even contradicted God himself, and is not that a great sin for anybody to commit?” (Spurgeon)

Rom 8:33-34 LSB - [33] Who will bring a charge against God's elect? God is the one who justifies; [34] who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.

Job 9:31 LSB - [31] Yet You would plunge me into the pit, And my own clothes would abhor me.

ii. “When the Lord, the Holy Spirit, convinces a man of sin, the words of Job are none too strong: ‘Mine own clothes shall abhor me.’ You may sometimes have abhorred your clothes because they were so dirty that you were ashamed to be seen in them: but, you must be dirty indeed when your very clothes seem ashamed to hang upon you. This is what the convinced sinner feels — that he is so foul that his very clothes seem to be ashamed of him, as if they would rather have been on anybody else’s back than on the back of such a filthy sinner as he is.” (Spurgeon)

Job 9:33 LSB - [33] "There is no adjudicator between us, Who may lay his hand upon us both.

1Ti 2:5 LSB - [5] For there is one God, [and] one mediator also between God and men, [the] man Christ Jesus, 

iv. Job began this chapter with the language of the law-court (If one wished to contend with Him, Job 9:3), and here he ends with the picture of a mediator to end a dispute. The end of Job’s dispute will not come until later, but the end of our dispute with God is available now in Jesus Christ. “But, what is more and more wonderful still, both parties have gained in the suit. Did you ever hear of such a law-suit as this before? No, never in the courts of man.” (Spurgeon)

 

Job 4-6 - Come to the Grave in Full Vigor

Eliphaz Says the Innocent Do Not Suffer

The Discipline of the Almighty

Job 5:13 LSB - [13] "He catches the wise by their own craftiness, And the counsel of the twisted is quickly thwarted.

1Co 1:19-20 LSB - [19] For it is written, "I WILL DESTROY THE WISDOM OF THE WISE, AND THE CLEVERNESS OF THE CLEVER I WILL SET ASIDE." [20] Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

Job 5:26 LSB - [26] "You will come to the grave in full vigor, Like the stacking of grain in its season.

The Death of the Christian

Charles Haddon Spurgeon September 9, 1855

ii. Spurgeon preached this sermon on the words “You shall come to the grave at a full age, as a sheaf of grain ripens in its season.” These were his points of development regarding the death of a Christian:

• Death is inevitable (You shall come).
• Death is acceptable (You shall come).
• Death is timely (at a full age).
• Death is honorable (as a sheaf of grain ripens in its season).

iii. “Even as the color of the wheat is golden, so that it looks more beauteous than when the greenness of its verdure is on it, so the gray-headed man has a crown of glory on his head. He is glorious in his weakness, more than the young man in his strength, or the maiden in her beauty. Is not a shock of corn a beautiful picture of the state of man, moreover, because very soon it must be taken home? The reaper is coming.” (Spurgeon)

 

Job Answers Eliphaz

Job 6:10 LSB - [10] "But it is still my comfort, And I rejoice in unsparing pain, That I have not [at all] hidden away the words of the Holy One.

Act 20:27 LSB - [27] "For I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole purpose of God.

Psa 40:9-10 LSB - [9] I proclaim good news of righteousness in the great assembly; Behold, I do not restrain my lips, O Yahweh, You know. [10] I do not conceal Your righteousness within my heart; I speak of Your faithfulness and Your salvation; I do not hide Your lovingkindness and Your truth from the great assembly.

iii. If Job sensed a responsibility to not deny or conceal the words of the Holy One, we have an even greater responsibility. “Did you listen to that splendid sermon? What rhetoric! What oratory! But those poor people in the aisles did not understand a word, or if they did they only comprehended disconnected sentences, and lost the soul of the discourse. Is this right? Is this according to the Scriptural idea of preaching?... If the next generation should become more wicked than the present, and still more ignorant of the gospel, the fact will be chargeable upon those who conceal the words of God today.” (Spurgeon)

 

Job 1-3 - Blameless, Upright, Fearing God, and Turning Away from Evil

Job Was Greatest of the Sons of the East

Job 1:1 LSB - [1] There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job; and that man was blameless, upright, fearing God, and turning away from evil.

Job 1:5 LSB - [5] Now it happened when the days of feasting had completed their cycle, that Job would send and set them apart as holy. And he would rise up early in the morning and offer burnt offerings [according to] the number of them all; for Job said, "Perhaps my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts." Thus Job did continually.

All Job Has Is in Satan’s Hand

Job 1:6 LSB - [6] Now it was the day that the sons of God came to stand before Yahweh, and Satan also came among them.

Job 1:7 LSB - [7] And Yahweh said to Satan, "From where do you come?" Then Satan answered Yahweh and said, "From roaming about on the earth and walking around on it."

1Pe 5:8 LSB - [8] Be of sober [spirit], be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

Job 1:8 LSB - [8] Then Yahweh said to Satan, "Have you set your heart upon My servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, fearing God and turning away from evil."

Job 1:12 LSB - [12] Then Yahweh said to Satan, "Behold, all that he has is in your hand, only do not send forth your hand toward him." So Satan went out from the presence of Yahweh.

Messengers Speak of the Fire of God

Job 1:20-22 LSB - [20] Then Job arose and tore his robe and shaved his head, and he fell to the ground and worshiped. [21] And he said, "Naked I came from my mother's womb, And naked I shall return there. Yahweh gave, and Yahweh has taken away. Blessed be the name of Yahweh." [22] Through all this Job did not sin, nor did he give offense to God.

Luk 12:15 LSB - [15] Then He said to them, "Watch out and be on your guard against every form of greed, for not [even] when one has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions."

 

Satan Strikes Job’s Flesh

Job 2:3 LSB - [3] And Yahweh said to Satan, "Have you set your heart upon My servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, fearing God and turning away from evil. And he still holds fast his integrity. So you incited Me against him to swallow him up in vain."

Job 2:10 LSB - [10] But he said to her, "You speak as one of the wickedly foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God and not accept calamity?" In all this Job did not sin with his lips.

Job’s Three Friends

Job 2:11 LSB - [11] Then Job's three friends heard of all this calamity that had come upon him. So they came each one from his own place, Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; and they made an appointment together to come to console him and comfort him.

Job 2:13 LSB - [13] Then they sat down on the ground with him for seven days and seven nights with no one speaking a word to him, for they saw that [his] pain was very great.

Job Curses the Day of His Birth

Job 3:23 LSB - [23] "[Why is light given] to a man whose way is hidden, And whom God has hedged in?

Job 1:10 LSB - [10] "Have You not made a hedge about him and his house and all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land.

Philippians 1-4 - Pressing On Toward the Goal

Thanksgiving

Phl 1:3-5 LSB - [3] I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, [4] always offering prayer with joy in my every prayer for you all, [5] because of your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now.

Phl 1:6-7 LSB - [6] [For I am] confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus. [7] For it is only right for me to think this way about you all, because I have you in my heart, since both in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are fellow partakers with me in this grace.

The Progress of the Gospel

Phl 1:20 LSB - [20] according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will not be put to shame in anything, but [that] with all boldness, Christ will even now, as always, be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

To Live Is Christ

Phl 1:21 LSB - [21] For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

Phl 1:29-30 LSB - [29] For to you it has been granted for Christ's sake, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake, [30] having the same struggle which you saw in me, and now hear [to be] in me.

Christ’s Humility and Exaltation

Phl 2:5-7 LSB - [5] Have this [way of] thinking in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, [6] who, although existing in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, [7] but emptied Himself, by taking the form of a slave, by being made in the likeness of men.

Phl 2:8-11 LSB - [8] Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. [9] Therefore, God also highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, [10] so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, [11] and that EVERY TONGUE WILL CONFESS that Jesus Christ is LORD, to the glory of God the Father.

Phl 2:14-16 LSB - [14] Do all things without grumbling or disputing, [15] so that you will be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, [16] holding fast the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I will have reason to boast because I did not run in vain nor labor in vain.

Timothy and Epaphroditus Sent

Phl 2:19 LSB - [19] But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you shortly, so that I also may be in good spirits when I learn of your circumstances.

Phl 2:22 LSB - [22] But you know of his proven worth, that he served with me in the furtherance of the gospel like a child [serving] his father.

Righteousness Through Faith in Christ

Phl 3:8-11 LSB - [8] More than that, I count all things to be loss because of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ [9] and be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own which is from [the] Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which [is] from God upon faith, [10] that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, [11] in order that I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

Pressing On Toward the Goal

Phl 3:12-14 LSB - [12] Not that I have already obtained [it] or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. [13] Brothers, I do not consider myself as having laid hold of [it] yet, but one thing [I do]: forgetting what [lies] behind and reaching forward to what [lies] ahead, [14] I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Phl 3:20-21 LSB - [20] For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, [21] who will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory, by His working through which He is able to even subject all things to Himself.

Rejoice in the Lord Always

Phl 4:4 LSB - [4] Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!

Phl 4:6-7 LSB - [6] Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. [7] And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

God Will Fill Your Needs

Phl 4:12-13 LSB - [12] I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in abundance; in any and all things I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need. [13] I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.

Be Strong and Courageous

Deu 31:7-8 LSB - [7] Then Moses called to Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel, "Be strong and courageous, for you shall go with this people into the land which Yahweh has sworn to their fathers to give them, and you shall give it to them as an inheritance. [8] "And Yahweh is the one who goes ahead of you; He will be with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed."

Deu 31:10-11 LSB - [10] Then Moses commanded them, saying, "At the end of [every] seven years, at the time of the year of the remission of debts, at the Feast of Booths, [11] when all Israel comes to appear before Yahweh your God at the place which He will choose, you shall read this law in front of all Israel in their hearing.

Yahweh Has Moses Write a Song

Deu 31:19-21 LSB - [19] "So now, write this song for yourselves and teach it to the sons of Israel; put it in their mouths, so that this song may be a witness for Me against the sons of Israel. [20] "For when I bring them into the land flowing with milk and honey, which I swore to their fathers, and they have eaten and are satisfied and become fat, then they will turn to other gods and serve them and spurn Me and break My covenant. [21] "Then it will be, when many evils and troubles have found them, that this song will answer them as a witness (for it shall not be forgotten from the mouths of their seed); for I know their intent which they are developing today, before I have brought them into the land which I swore."

Joshua Is Commissioned

Deu 31:23 LSB - [23] Then He commissioned Joshua the son of Nun and said, "Be strong and courageous, for you shall bring the sons of Israel into the land which I swore to them, and I will be with you."

The Song of Moses

Deu 32:4 LSB - [4] "The Rock! His work is perfect, For all His ways are just; A God of faithfulness and without injustice, Righteous and upright is He.
