Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

5. Relatively, the longest experience of divine anger by the pious is momentary. These precious words have consoled millions.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

30:1-5. The great things the Lord has done for us, both by his providence and by his grace, bind us in gratitude to do all we can to advance his kingdom among men, though the most we can do is but little. God's saints in heaven sing to him; why should not those on earth do the same? Not one of all God's perfections carries in it more terror to the wicked, or more comfort to the godly, than his holiness. It is a good sign that we are in some measure partakers of his holiness, if we can heartily rejoice at the remembrance of it. Our happiness is bound up in the Divine favour; if we have that, we have enough, whatever else we want; but as long as God's anger continues, so long the saints' weeping continues.


Psalm 103:9 He will not always strive with us, Nor will He keep His anger forever.
Psalm 118:1 Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
Psalm 126:5 Those who sow in tears shall reap with joyful shouting.
Isaiah 26:20 Come, my people, enter into your rooms And close your doors behind you; Hide for a little while Until indignation runs its course.
Isaiah 54:7 "For a brief moment I forsook you, But with great compassion I will gather you.
Isaiah 54:8 "In an outburst of anger I hid My face from you for a moment, But with everlasting lovingkindness I will have compassion on you," Says the LORD your Redeemer.
2 Corinthians 4:17 For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, (NASB ©1995)
