Remembrance (v. 18)
And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who
gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which
He swore to your fathers, as it is this day. |
Forgetfulness (vv. 11, 14, 19)
Beware that you do not forget the LORD your God by not keeping
His commandments, His judgments, and His statutes which I command you today,
[lest] . . . when your heart is lifted up, and you forget the LORD
your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage
[. . .] Then it shall be, if you by any means forget the LORD your
God, and follow other gods, and serve them and worship them, I testify
against you this day that you shall surely perish. |

Prosperity (vv. 10, 12-13)
When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the LORD your
God for the good land which He has given you. . . . lest--when you have
eaten and are full, and have built beautiful houses and dwell in them;
and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your
gold are multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied . . .

my hand have gained me this wealth." |

Destruction (vv. 19-20)
Then it shall be, if you by any means forget the LORD your God, and
follow other gods, and serve them and worship them, I testify against you

LORD destroys before you, so you shall perish, because you would
not be obedient to the voice of the LORD your God. |
