Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Deuteronomy 31:18
And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto other gods.
18. hide my face ] Some Heb. MSS, Sam., LXX, etc., add from them; but the Heb. has the next vbs. in Sg. evil which it has wrought, and it turned to other gods (Sam. they and they). The Heb. vb. is panah, not used exactly so elsewhere in Deut., but cp. Deu 29:18 (17), Deu 30:17, and below Deu 31:20.

for all the evils which they shall have wrought; for all the immoralities they should be guilty of, every transgression of his law, whether of the first or second table, and especially idolatry:
in that they are turned unto other gods; to the worship and service of them, which of all evils would be the most provoking to God; and the way of speaking suggests as if all evils were included in idolatry, and sprang from it, or were committed with it.
