Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;
Then your heart becomes proud, and you forget the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the place where you were slaves.
This verse warns that when we become proud and successful, we risk forgetting God who rescued us from our troubles.
