Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses in which to dwell,
Hosea 13:6 echoes Deuteronomy 8:12's specific warning against becoming "satisfied" (שָׂבַע, sava') after eating, which leads to forgetting God. Deuteronomy 8:12 warns, "When you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses..." — material fullness as the precursor to spiritual amnesia. Hosea's formulation compresses this: "when they had pasture, they became satisfied... they forgot Me," confirming that Moses' centuries-old warning proved prophetically accurate. The verbal echo demonstrates Hosea's deliberate appeal to Deuteronomic covenant theology: Israel's judgment is not arbitrary but is the working out of blessings and curses explicitly articulated before they entered the land.
