11“Beware that you do not forget the Lord your God by not keeping His commandments, His judgments, and His statutes which I command you today, 12nlest—when you have eaten and are 5full, and have built beautiful houses and dwell in them; 13and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold are 6multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied; 14owhen your heart 7is lifted up, and you pforget the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage; 15who qled you through that great and terrible wilderness, rin which were fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty land where there was no water; swho brought water for you out of the flinty rock; 16who fed you in the wilderness with tmanna, which your fathers did not know, that He might humble you and that He might test you, uto do you good in the end—17then you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gained me this wealth.’

18“And you shall remember the Lord your God, vfor it is He who gives you power to get wealth, wthat He may 8establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.
