Charles Ellicott Commentary Deuteronomy 32:28

"For they are a nation void of counsel, And there is no understanding in them." — Deuteronomy 32:28 (ASV)

Void of counsel. —Literally, perishing in counsels, or, perhaps, spoiling the plans of Jehovah. Yet they said, “Come, and let us devise devices against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet” (Jeremiah 18:18).
