Study Lenses

The verse centers on "all things", "sheep", "shalt", "herds", "oxen", "flocks", "plenty", and "gold". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "all things" and "sheep", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The nearby context moves from verse 12's "Lest after thou hast eaten and art..." into verse 14's "Thy heart be lifted up and thou...", so "all things" and "sheep" belong inside that flow. In Deuteronomy context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "all things" and "sheep" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
