The Folly of Ingratitude

The verse opens with a sharp, rhetorical question to expose the foolishness of Israel's unfaithfulness. Commentators like Spurgeon describe sin as the "basest form of ingratitude." Moses reminds the people of all God has done for them, making their rebellion not just a mistake, but a deeply personal and ungrateful betrayal of their greatest Benefactor.
