Context

Remember the LORD Your God

¹²Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses in which to dwell,¹³and when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase and all that you have is multiplied,¹⁴then 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.

Summary

He cautions them not to become proud and attribute their success solely to their own efforts, but to remember that it is God who has provided for them. This verse serves as a reminder to remain humble, grateful, and faithful to God, acknowledging His role in their lives and blessings.

Commentary

John Gill Bible Commentary

Then thine heart be lifted up,.... As the heart is apt to be when riches increase; hence the advice in Ti1 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.
