“Everything he does is just and fair.”
A rock is a symbol of stability, permanence, strength, dependability, and steadfastness. A rock stresses the unchanging nature of God in contrast with the fickle and unstable nature of Israel. A rock stresses the faithfulness of God, unlike unstable Israel. Concerning this Rock, Moses sang that “…his deeds are perfect. Everything he does is just and fair. He is a faithful God who does no wrong; how just and upright he is!” . He was referring to the character and deeds of God here.
Moses’s lament continues in verse 18 of his song. This time, he accuses Israel of neglecting and forgetting the God who fathered or gave birth to her. “You neglected the Rock who had fathered you; you forgot the God who had given you birth.” . Israel’s instability was because she hardly knew who her God was. If she had known Him, she would not have abandoned God for the ephemeral things of life. By disregarding God, Israel hurt herself most. She did not know what she had. She fell short of demonstrating those ideals of godly wisdom that other nations admired in her. Other nations wished Israel’s Rock were their God. As Moses later said in verse 31, “Their enemies know that their own gods are weak, not mighty like Israel’s God.” .
