Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 16. - And in very deed, etc. Rather, "But truly for this cause have I caused thee to stand," i.e., "kept thee alive and sustained thee in the position thou occupiest" for to shew to thee my power - i.e., to impress thee, if it is possible that thou canst be impressed, with the greatness of my power, and the foolishness of any attempt to resist it, and also that my name may be declared throughout all the earth - i.e., that attention may be called widely among the neighbouring nations to the great truth that there is really but one God, who alone can deliver, and whom it is impossible to resist.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(16) And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up.--Rather, but truly on this account have I made thee stand--i.e., kept thee alive, not for thy deserts, not even in pity, but only "for to show in thee My power." Thou hast provoked Me so that long since thou wouldst have been "cut off from the earth," only that My glory will be the more shown forth by thy continuance in life, and by the further plagues and punishments whereto thou wilt be subjected.That my name may be declared.--Comp. Exodus 14:17; Exodus 15:14-16, &c.
