Deuteronomy 8:11–20

11 “Take care for yourself so that you not forget Yahweh your God by not keeping his commandments and his regulations and his statutes that I am commanding you ⌊today⌋,o 12 lest when you have eaten and you are satisfied and you have built good houses and you live in them, 13 and your herds and your flocks have multiplied, and ⌊you have accumulated silver and gold⌋,p and all that ⌊you have⌋q has multiplied, 14 then your heart ⌊becomes proud⌋r and you forget Yahweh your God, ⌊the one who brought you out⌋s from the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery, 15 the one leading you in the great and terrible desert infested with ⌊dangerous⌋t snakesu and scorpionsv and parched ground, where there isw no water, and the one bringing out water for you from flint rock, 16 the one ⌊feeding you⌋x manna in the desert, food that your ancestorsy did not know, in order to humble you and in order to test you so that he could do good to you ⌊in the future⌋.z 17 And you may thinka in your heart, ‘My strength and the might of my hand ⌊acquired this wealth for⌋b me.’ 18 But you must remember Yahweh your God, for he is the one giving you strength to acquire wealth in order to confirm his covenant that he swore to your ancestorsc ⌊as it is today⌋.d 19 And it will happen that if you indeed forget Yahweh your God and you go after other gods and you serve them and you bow down before them, I warn you today that you will surely perish. 20 As with the nations that Yahweh is destroying ⌊before you⌋,e so you shall perish because you would not obey the voice of Yahweh your God.
