Scripture focus

Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our God [is] not among us?

Commentary on Deuteronomy 31:17

Theological / Devotional

My anger. So in Judges 2:14 at their first apostasy after crossing the Jordan.

Hide my face. This means a withdrawal of God’s protecting hand (see Deut. 32:20; Isa. 8:17; 64:7; Eze. 7:22 ; 39:23).

God is not among us. See Jer. 14:9; Micah 3:11; cf. Isa. 12:6; Zeph. 3:15, 17.
