Charles Spurgeon Commentary Deuteronomy 32:6

"Do ye thus requite Jehovah, O foolish people and unwise? Is not he thy father that hath bought thee? He hath made thee, and established thee." — Deuteronomy 32:6 (ASV)

Do you thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? Is he not your father that has bought you? Has he not made you, and established you?

Who made the Jews to be a people? Who set Israel apart to be a nation? Who, but God, who bought them with a price when they came out of Egypt, and, in his fatherly care, led them through the wilderness?

Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?

Sin is the basest form of ingratitude. We owe everything to God, and we ought therefore to treat him as our Creator and Father should be treated. On the contrary, how often have we repaid him evil for good, and acted as if we regarded him as our enemy rather than as our best Friend!
