Lest when

Because thou didst not serve the LORD thy God with joyfulness and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things:

For when I shall have brought them into the land which I swore to their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxed fat; then will they turn to other gods, and serve them, and provoke me, and break my covenant.

Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.

I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drouth.

And hast built

I made me great works; I built me houses; I planted me vineyards:

Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your ceiled houses, and this house lie waste?

Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
