“And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.”
The ancestors are blamed for forgetting: "They forgot what he had done, and the miracles that he had shown them." Amnesia becomes the root sin; Israel's repeated failures stem from failure to remember God's mighty works. This verse shifts responsibility away from God (who has been faithful) to Israel (who has been forgetful), establishing that the covenant crisis is not God's failure but Israel's failure of memory and faith.
