DEUTERONOMY 31:20 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For when I shall have brought them into the land which I sware unto their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxen fat; then will they turn unto other gods, and serve them, and provoke me, and break my covenant.”
For when I have brought them into the land flowing with milk and honey, which I promised on oath to their ancestors, and they have eaten their fill and grown fat, they will turn to other gods and serve them, and despise me and break my covenant — prosperity triggers apostasy: satiation breeds idolatry ('v'shavtu el elohim acherim'). Abundance becomes temptation.
