Deuteronomy 8:11-17

¹¹Be careful not to forget the LORD your God by failing to keep His commandments and ordinances and statutes, which I am giving you this day.

¹²Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses in which to dwell,

¹³and when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase and all that you have is multiplied,

¹⁴then your heart will become proud, and you will forget the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

¹⁵He led you through the vast and terrifying wilderness with its venomous snakes and scorpions, a thirsty and waterless land. He brought you water from the rock of flint.

¹⁶He fed you in the wilderness with manna that your fathers had not known, in order to humble you and test you, so that in the end He might cause you to prosper.

¹⁷You might say in your heart, “The power and strength of my hands have made this wealth for me.”
