Deuteronomy 8:12 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 8:12

Lest when thou hast eaten and art full
Not only once and again, but continually, day after day, being indulged with great plenty:

and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt [therein];
who for forty years had only dwelt in tents, moving from place to place in the wilderness.

Deuteronomy 8:12 In-Context

10 When you have eaten your fill, be sure to praise the LORD your God for the good land he has given you.

11 “But that is the time to be careful! Beware that in your plenty you do not forget the LORD your God and disobey his commands, regulations, and decrees that I am giving you today.

12 For when you have become full and prosperous and have built fine homes to live in,

13 and when your flocks and herds have become very large and your silver and gold have multiplied along with everything else, be careful!

14 Do not become proud at that time and forget the LORD your God, who rescued you from slavery in the land of Egypt.
