Deuteronomio 8:14 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 8:14

Then thine heart be lifted up
As the heart is apt to be when riches increase; hence the advice in ( 1 Timothy 6:17 )

and thou forget the Lord thy God;
from whom all good things come, and who can take them away when he pleases, and therefore should be ever kept in mind, for ever looked to and trusted in for the continuance of them; yet such is the evil heart of man, and such the stupefying nature of riches, that they bring on forgetfulness of the author of them, lead off from dependence on him and obedience to him; in order to prevent which, an enumeration is given of wonderful instances of divine goodness to Israel, as follows:

which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of
bondage;
into a land abounding with all the above good things, and therefore it must be the highest ingratitude to forget such a God, and disobey his commands.

Deuteronomio 8:14 In-Context

12 no sea que cuando hayas comido y te hayas saciado, y hayas construido buenas casas y habitado en ellas,
13 y cuando tus vacas y tus ovejas se multipliquen, y tu plata y oro se multipliquen, y todo lo que tengas se multiplique,
14 entonces tu coraz贸n se enorgullezca, y te olvides del SE脩OR tu Dios que te sac贸 de la tierra de Egipto de la casa de servidumbre.
15 El te condujo a trav茅s del inmenso y terrible desierto, con sus serpientes abrasadoras y escorpiones, tierra sedienta donde no hab铆a agua; El sac贸 para ti agua de la roca de pedernal.
16 En el desierto te aliment贸 con el man谩 que tus padres no hab铆an conocido, para humillarte y probarte, y para finalmente hacerte bien.
