Maka apabila banyak kali mereka ditimpa malapetaka serta kesusahan, maka nyanyian ini akan menjadi kesaksian terhadap mereka, sebab nyanyian ini akan tetap melekat pada bibir keturunan mereka. Sebab Aku tahu niat yang dikandung mereka pada hari ini, sebelum Aku membawa mereka ke negeri yang Kujanjikan dengan sumpah kepada mereka."
Maka akan jadi apabila segala celaka yang besar-besar dan kesukaran itu berlaku atasnya, bahwa nyanyian ini juga akan naik saksi atas mereka itu, karena tiada ia itu terlupa dari pada mulut anak cucunya! Maka sesungguhnya Kuketahui akan niatnya, yang diadakannya pada hari ini juga, sebelum Kubawa akan mereka itu ke dalam negeri yang telah Kujanji pakai sumpah.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles are befallen them,.... As did in the times of the judges, in the Babylonish captivity, and do now in their present exile:
that this song shall testify against them as a witness; which so clearly points at their sins, with all their aggravated circumstances, and describes so fully their calamities, distresses, and punishment for them:
for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed; which shows that it respects time to come, their later posterity, whose memory of this song would be conjured up by the evils that should come upon them for their sins; nor is it forgotten by them to this day, who acknowledge there are some things in it now fulfilled or fulfilling in them:
for I know their imagination which they go about even now: or are "making" c; forming and framing within themselves, there being a secret inclination in their minds to idolatry, which were working and contriving schemes to bring it about, and set it up; and this, God, the searcher of hearts, knew full well, and that in process of time this evil imagination would break forth into act, in an open and flagrant manner:
before I have brought thee into the land which I sware; to their fathers, to give it to them for an inheritance, as is suggested in
Deuteronomy 31:20.
c עשה "faciens", Montanus; "quam facit", Pagninus.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The transaction recorded in these verses may be regarded as the solemn inauguration of Joshua to the office to which he had some time before Numbers 27:22 been called, and his recognition in it by God, which were manifested by his being summoned into the tabernacle with Moses while the Lord appeared in the pillar of cloud (compare Numbers 11:25; Numbers 12:5).
Deuteronomy 31:16
The future apostasy of the people is announced in the presence of Joshua that the latter might be fully aware of the danger and strive in his day to avert it. This he faithfully did (compare Joshua 24:31); but we find him in his own last address to Israel repeating Joshua 23:15-16 the self-same prediction and warning.
Deuteronomy 31:19
A witness for me against them - i. e., an attestation from their own mouths at once of God’s benefits, their own duties, and their deserts when they should fall away. Being in verse it would be the more easily learned and kept in memory. The use of songs for such didactic purposes was not unknown to the legislators of antiquity. Compare also the advice of Paul, “teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs” Colossians 3:16.
Deuteronomy 31:23
He gave - i. e., the Lord gave.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Deuteronomy 31:21. This song shall testify against them — Because in it their general defection is predicted, but in such a way as to show them how to avoid the evil; and if they did not avoid the evil, and the threatened punishment should come upon them, then the song should testify against them, by showing that they had been sufficiently warned, and might have lived to God, and so escaped those disasters.
