Ver. 12. Then beware lest thou forget the Lord— It is well known, how prone men are in prosperity to forget their benefactors, but especially their supreme One, and their dependance upon him. See Proverbs 30:8-9. Hence it was proverbial among the Greeks, that "satiety begets insolence; and power, joined with ignorance, is the parent of madness." Moses had too long experienced the temper of his countrymen, not to be jealous of their falling into this extreme; therefore, he strongly warns them against the unhappy influence of ease and prosperity, when peacefully possessed of the promised land. See ch. Deuteronomy 8:11.
