Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 31. - The heathen had also a rock in which they trusted - their idol-gods; but even they knew and felt that their rock was not as the Rock of Israel, for, having often experienced the almighty power of God, they could not but acknowledge that he was mightier far than the gods whom they worshipped (cf. Exodus 14:25; Numbers 33, 34; Joshua 2:9; 1 Samuel 5:7). Moses is here himself again the speaker.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(31) For their rock.--Perhaps this may be taken, For their rock (the enemies' God) is not as our Rock (Jehovah), and yet our enemies are judges, i.e., lords, over us. So Rashi takes it. The verse should be read as a parenthesis. The argument would be this: No cause can be found for the defeat of Israel except the displeasure of Jehovah. The enemies have no gods that could fight against Israel.The word for judges occurs only in Exodus 21:22; Job 31:11. The phrase "our enemies themselves being judges" (of the question) is more like Latin than Hebrew, but it may be correct.
