The Pulpit Commentary on Deuteronomy 31:29

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Ye will utterly corrupt yourselves; literally, corrupting, ye will corrupt ( הַשְׁחַת תשׁחִתוּן, sc. דַרֵכֵיֶכם); i.e. your ways (cf. for the phrase, Genesis 6:12). The latter days; the after-time, the future, as in Deuteronomy 4:30; Numbers 24:14, etc. The work of your hands; the idols they might make (cf. Deuteronomy 4:28). By some, however, the phrase is interpreted of evil deeds in general
