Deuteronomy 6:25

Verse 25. Merciful. Hebrew “he will justify us.” Chal. “reward us.” Justice often denotes the mercy which God shews to his people, and the punishment which he inflicts upon their enemies. Calmet. Matthew 6:1.—Past, present, and future benefits concur to make the Hebrews observe the commandments. God had rescued them from slavery; (verse 21,) he had already given them great possessions, and would grant them still more if they would be faithful; as on the other hand, all will be lost if they prove rebellious, verse 15.
