The Danger of Prosperity
Commentators unanimously highlight a dangerous spiritual progression: God's blessing of abundance led to Israel being 'filled,' which fueled their pride and caused them to forget Him. Scholars like Barnes and Calvin note this was a fulfillment of warnings in Deuteronomy. It serves as a timeless caution that material prosperity, if not handled with humility, can lead believers away from God rather than closer to Him.
