Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men: Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the LORD hath not done all this. God always looks out for some reason for mercy when he...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
That I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the LORD hath not done all this. So he spared them for his own name’s sake; and, to this day, when God can find no other reason for showing mercy to the guilty, he does it for his name’s sake; and this is...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them. O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end! How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up? That little people would have been...

For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them. O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges. For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter: Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps. Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter: their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps. Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures? What a striking and startling question that is, as though God laid up the memory of man’s sin,...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
To me belongeth vengeance, and recompense; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste. For the LORD shall judge his people, He will not always let his enemies triumph over them. He will come back to his people whom he seemed to cast away. “The Lord shall judge...

And repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left. He seemed very angry, but how soon he comes back in love and tries his people over again.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted, Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection. See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me; I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand. For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever. If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death. A very beautiful thought, that he should conclude his life with a blessing. Though they had greatly grieved and provoked his spirit, he was always meek and tender, but he had very much to bear from them, and this is the end of it all, that he...

And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them. Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy words. “Yea, he loved the people.”...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Moses commanded us a law, even the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob. And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people and the tribes of Israel were gathered together. Let Reuben live, and not die; and let not his men be few. Here is his blessing, “Let Reuben live.” Reuben’s great sin had lost him his birthright, yet Moses gives...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And this is the blessing of Judah: and he said, Hear, LORD, the voice of Judah, and bring him unto his people: let his hands be sufficient for him; and be thou an help to him from his enemies. And of Levi he said, Let thy Thummim and thy Urim be with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, and with whom thou didst strive at the waters of...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar. True hearts alone can be God’s priests; he will not accept sacrifices from those who will dally with his truth, and trifle with his Word.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Bless, LORD, his substance, and accept the work of his hands: smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not again. And of Benjamin he said, The beloved of the LORD shall dwell in safety by him; and the LORD shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders. They that...

And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the LORD be his land, for the precious things of heaven, Oh! in a spiritual sense, what a rich blessing this is! and remember it came upon that tribe whose father was the most afflicted of all Jacob’s sons. If thou art, an afflicted Joseph rejoice, for one of these days thou shall have the capacity for receiving...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon, They shall have blessings both ways, in the day and in the night. Those whom God blesses, the sun doth not smite by day, nor the moon by night, but, on the contrary, they are blessed both in the one and in the other.

And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills, And for the precious things of the earth and fulness thereof, and for the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: Oh! that we may enjoy ever the good will of God, who wills good to us, who in all his dealings with us has a good will towards us....
