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 eat and are satisfied, you are to bless the LORD your God for the good land that He has given you.

11 Be careful not to forget the LORD your God by failing to keep His commandments and ordinances and statutes, which I am giving you this day.

12 Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses in which to dwell,

13 and when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase and all that you have is multiplied,

14 then your heart will become proud, and you will forget the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
