Deuteronomy 32 MHBCC 186

In this chapter we have, I. The song which Moses, by the appointment of God, delivered to the children of Israel, for a standing admonition to them, to take heed of forsaking God. This takes up most of the chapter, in which we have, 1. The preface, Deuteronomy 32:1, 32:2. 2. A high character of God, and, in opposition to that, a bad character of the people of Israel, Deuteronomy 32:3-32:6. 3. A rehearsal of the great things God had done for them, and in opposition to that an account of their ill carriage towards him, Deuteronomy 32:7-32:18. 4. A prediction of the wasting destroying judgments which God would bring upon them for their sins, in which God is here justified by the many aggravations of their impieties, Deuteronomy 32:19-32:33. 5. A promise of the destruction of their enemies and oppressors at last, and the glorious deliverance of a remnant of Israel, Deuteronomy 32:36-32:43. II. The exhortation with which Moses delivered this song to them, Deuteronomy 32:41-32:47. III. The orders God gives to Moses to go up to Mount Nebo and die, Deuteronomy 32:48-32:52 MHBCC 186.1
