Deuteronomy 6:12 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

Deuteronomy 6:12 [Then] beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

Ver. 12. Lest thou forget the Lord.] Should we, with the fed hawk, forget our master? Or being full with God's benefits, like the moon, be then most removed from the sun, from whom she hath all her light? See Proverbs 30:8,9. Postquam locupletati sumus, saith Luther, hanc odiosam particulam addimus, Ego feci; We are no sooner grown rich, but we are apt to utter that ugly word, This I may thank myself for.
