EXPLANATION

Verse 29. Dwelt. This impure service did not deserve a mitigation of the late chastisement. But God often punishes in this world ( Bible.) to manifest his glory, (John 9:3) and spares to display his power ( Calmet.) and goodness. Bible.—He had sufficiently convinced these nations of his dominion over all.
