“According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me.”
The statement that when they had pasture they became full and their heart was exalted and so they forgot the LORD indicates that prosperity has led Israel to spiritual amnesia, that satiety and sufficiency have produced the false sense that they no longer need God. The forgetting of God represents the fundamental sin from which all others flow. This verse establishes that Israel's problem stems from prosperity-induced spiritual complacency and ingratitude.
