11“1Beware lest you aforget Yahweh your God by not keeping His commandments and His judgments and His statutes which I am commanding you today;

12lest ayou eat and are satisfied and build good houses and live in them,

13and your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and gold multiply, and all that you have multiplies,

14and your heart becomes 1lifted up and you aforget Yahweh your God who brought you out from the land of Egypt, out of the house of 2slavery.

15“He led you through athe great and fearsome wilderness, with its bfiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty ground where there was no water; He cbrought water for you out of the rock of flint.

16“In the wilderness He fed you manna awhich your fathers did not know, that He might humble you and that He might btest you, to do good for you 1in the end,

17lest ayou say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand made me this wealth.’

18“But you shall remember Yahweh your God, for ait is He who is giving you power to make wealth, that He may confirm His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.
