Have I not stored up
This phrase suggests a deliberate and intentional act by God. The Hebrew root for "stored up" is "tsaphan," which means to hide or treasure. This implies that God has carefully preserved His judgments and plans. In a historical context, this reflects the ancient practice of kings and rulers who would store valuable items for future use. Spiritually, it reassures believers that God is sovereign and His plans are meticulously prepared, even if they are not immediately visible to us.

these things
The "things" referred to here are the judgments and consequences that God has decreed. In the broader context of Deuteronomy 32, these are the warnings and prophecies concerning Israel's future disobedience and the resulting divine retribution. This serves as a reminder of the covenant relationship between God and Israel, where blessings and curses are contingent upon obedience to God's law. It underscores the seriousness with which God views His covenant and the certainty of His word.

sealed up
The phrase "sealed up" conveys the idea of security and finality. The Hebrew word "chatham" means to seal or close up, often used in the context of sealing a document to ensure its contents are preserved and unaltered. This reflects the ancient practice of sealing important documents with a signet ring, signifying authenticity and authority. In a spiritual sense, it assures believers that God's decrees are unchangeable and will come to pass in His perfect timing.

within My vaults
The imagery of "vaults" suggests a place of safekeeping and protection. The Hebrew word "otzar" refers to a treasury or storehouse. In ancient times, a vault would be a secure place where treasures and important items were kept safe from theft or damage. This metaphor highlights God's omnipotence and the certainty that His plans are safeguarded against any external influence. It inspires confidence in believers that God's purposes are protected and will be revealed according to His divine wisdom.

(34) Is not this laid up?--"This" is generally taken to refer to what follows, but it is not clear. It may refer to the fact that "He looked for grapes, and the vine brought forth wild grapes."

Verses 34-43. - Notwithstanding the iniquity of Israel and the judgments that should come upon them, God would have compassion upon them for his Name's sake, and would appear for their vindication and defense. The "this" in ver. 34 is by some understood of the sinful doings of the Israelites which God should not forget or overlook. So the Targum of Onkelos: "Are not all their works manifest before me, kept against the day of judgment in my treasures?" So also Calvin, "Quanquam de poenis hunc versum quidam exponunt, acsi Deus assereret diversas earum species apud se paratas esse, quas depromat quoties libuerit: rectius tamen est de sceleribus intelligere." But there is a more 'comprehensive reference here. Not only the deeds of the transgressors, but the judgments that should come on Israel, and also God's interposition on their behalf, were laid up in store with him, and sealed up among his treasures. All that had been done had been noted, and all that should happen was decreed, and should certainly come to pass. The "this' has thus both a retrospective and a prospective reference; it includes both the sin of the nation and God's dealing with them afterwards, as well as his judgments on their enemies. Verse 34. - My treasures. God's treasures contain not only a store of blessing, but also instruments of punishment, which as he sees meet, he sends forth on men (cf. Deuteronomy 28:12; Job 38:22, 23; Psalm 135:7).
