Deuteronomy 24 - Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible

Of divorce.

Where the providence of God, or his own wrong choice in marriage, has allotted to a Christian a trial instead of a help meet; he will from his heart prefer bearing the cross, to such relief as tends to sin, confusion, and misery. Divine grace will sanctify this cross, support under it, and teach so to behave, as will gradually render it more tolerable. (De 24:5-13)
