Commentary on Deuteronomy 28:47
Moses identifies the root cause of judgment: 'Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things.' The issue isn't merely disobedience but attitude—serving God grudgingly or mechanically rather than joyfully. The phrase 'for the abundance of all things' reveals the problem: prosperity led to complacency and ingratitude rather than increased devotion. Joyless religion indicates heart disconnection from God, even when outward forms are maintained.
