Ingratitude

“Is it not enough for you that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel and brought you near to Himself to perform the work at the LORD’s tabernacle, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them?”

“He has brought you near, you and all your fellow Levites, but you are seeking the priesthood as well.”

“Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses in which to dwell,”

“with houses full of every good thing with which you did not fill them, with wells that you did not dig, and with vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant—and when you eat and are satisfied,”

“be careful not to forget the LORD who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.”

“Because you did not serve the LORD your God with joy and gladness of heart in all your abundance,”

“you will serve your enemies the LORD will send against you in famine, thirst, nakedness, and destitution. He will place an iron yoke on your neck until He has destroyed you.”

“And the LORD said to Moses, “You will soon rest with your fathers, and these people will rise up and prostitute themselves with the foreign gods of the land they are entering. They will forsake Me and break the covenant I have made with them.”
