Deuteronomy 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.

12 yee and when thou hast eate ad filled thy selfe ad hast bylt goodly housses ad dwelt therin,
13 ad when thy beesse ad thy shepe are waxed manye ad thy syluer ad golde is multiplied
14 ad all that thou hast encreased, then bewarre lest thine herte ryse ad thou fotgett the Lorde thy God which brought the out of the londe of Egipte the housse of bondage,
15 ad which led the in the wildernesse both greate ad terreble with firye serpentes ad scorpios ad thurste where was no water which brought the water out of the rocke of flynt:
16 whiche fed the in the wildernesse with Man where of thy fathers knewe not, for to humble the and to proue the, that he might doo the good at thy later ende.
