Contextual Overview

¹⁰ When you have all you want to eat, then praise the Lord your God for giving you a good land. ¹¹ Be careful not to forget the Lord your God so that you fail to obey his commands, laws, and rules that I am giving to you today. ¹² When you eat all you want and build nice houses and live in them, ¹³ when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase, when you have more of everything, ¹⁴ then your heart will become proud. You will forget the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, where you were slaves. ¹⁵ He led you through the large and terrible desert that was dry and had no water, and that had poisonous snakes and stinging insects. He gave you water from a solid rock ¹⁶ and manna to eat in the desert. Manna was something your ancestors had never seen. He did this to take away your pride and to test you, so things would go well for you in the end. ¹⁷ You might say to yourself, "I am rich because of my own power and strength," ¹⁸ but remember the Lord your God! It is he who gives you the power to become rich, keeping the agreement he promised to your ancestors, as it is today. ¹⁹ If you ever forget the Lord your God and follow other gods and worship them and bow down to them, I warn you today that you will be destroyed.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.
