A commentator

Matthew Henry

1662–1714

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

"I will walk at all adventures with you," so some read; "all covenant loving-kindness shall be forgotten, and I will leave you to common providence." Note, Those that cast off God deserve that he should cast them off. (3.) As they continued obstinate, the judgments should increase yet more upon them.

This site's exposition

But if in spite of all this you do not obey Me

on Leviticus 26:27-28

The verb changes at verse 28. Punish stands at verses 18 and 24, chastise stands here, and the doubled I, even I puts the speaker in front of the act. Fury is the strongest word in the chapter and it arrives only at the fourth refusal.

The record, by era

The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice

And if ye for all this will not hearken unto me,.... To his commands, and to his prophets sent unto them time after time, and all his corrections and chastisements being ineffectual to reform them, and make them obedient to him: but walk contrary unto me; See Gill on Lev 26:21.
