This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
i.e. Not provoke him, as the following instance explains. Sinners, especially presumptuous sinners, are oft said to
tempt God, i.e. to make a trial of God, whether he be what he pretends to be, so wise as to see their sins, so just and true and powerful as to take vengeance on them for their sins, concerning which they are very apt to doubt because of the present impunity and prosperity of many such persons. See Num_14:22 Psa_78:18 Mat_4:7 Act_5:9.
