Deuteronomy 8:11–18

¹¹“¹Beware that you do not ^aforget the Lord your God by not keeping His commandments and His ordinances and His statutes which I am commanding you today;

¹²otherwise, ^awhen you have eaten and are satisfied, and have built good houses and lived in them,

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

¹⁴then your heart will become ¹proud and you will ^aforget the Lord 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 terrible 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.

¹⁷“Otherwise, ^ayou may say in your heart, ‘My power and the strength of my hand made me this wealth.’

¹⁸“But you shall remember the Lord 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.
