[55] νομισθῆναι. 14 πρὸς ἕκαστον οὖν ὁ ἱερὸς λόγος ἀντιταχθείς φησι πρώτῳ τῷ μνήμην μὲν ἀνῃρηκότι λήθην δὲ ζωπυροῦντι· „μὴ φαγών, ὦ οὗτος, καὶ ἐμπλησθεὶς καὶ οἰκίας καλὰς οἰκοδομήσας καὶ κατοικήσας καὶ τῶν προβάτων σου καὶ βοῶν αὐξηθέντων καὶ ἀργυρίου καὶ χρυσίου καὶ πάντων ὅσα σοί ἐστι πληθυνθέντων ὑψωθῇς τῇ καρδίᾳ καὶ ἐπιλάθῃ
κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ σου“ (Deut. 8,12 — 14). πότε οὖν οὐκ ἐπιλήσῃ θεοῦ; ὅταν μὴ ἐπιλάθῃ σεαυτοῦ· μεμνημένος γὰρ τῆς ἰδίου περὶ πάντα οὐδενείας μεμνήσῃ καὶ τῆς τοῦ θεοῦ περὶ πάντα ὑπερβολῆς.

Now the holy scriptures are opposed to all these classes, and reply to each of them, saying to the first class which has discarded recollection, and humbled forgetfulness, "Take care, my good man, lest when you have eaten and are filled, and when you have built fine houses and inhabited them, and when your flocks and your herds have increased, and when your silver and gold, and all that you possess is multiplied, you be lifted up in your heart, and forget the Lord your God." ¹ When is it then that you do not forget God? when you do not forget yourself; for if you remember your own nothingness in every particular, you will also be sure to remember the exceeding greatness of God in everything.
