Summary

This verse reflects on the Israelites' disobedience and their mingling with the nations and adopting their practices, which led them to worship idols and provoke the anger of God. It serves as a reminder of the consequences of forsaking God's commands and following after worldly ways. The verse underscores the importance of remaining faithful to God and avoiding the temptations of the world to prevent falling into sin and incurring divine judgment. It highlights the need for believers to stay committed to God's truth and resist the allure of sinful influences that can lead them astray.

Commentary

John Gill

John Gill Bible Commentary

But were mingled among the Heathen,.... Not only dwelt among them, but made covenants and contracts, carried on trade and commerce, and intermarried with them, contrary to the express law of God, Deu 7:2. Nor should saints have communion with wicked men, especially in things sinful and superstitious, Co2 6:14. And learned their works; not their civil works and actions, their trades and business, but their idolatrous works; of which a detail is given in the following verses: "evil communications corrupt good manners", Co1 15:33.

Give Thanks to the LORD, for He Is Good

³⁴They did not destroy the peoples as the LORD had commanded them, ³⁵but they mingled with the nations and adopted their customs. ³⁶They worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them.
