Deuteronomy 8:12-18

Deuteronomy 8:12-18

12
Otherwise, after you have eaten and are satisfied, built fine houses and lived in them,
13
and increased your herds, flocks, silver, gold and everything else you own,
14
you will become proud-hearted. Forgetting ADONAI your God - who brought you out of the land of Egypt, where you lived as slaves;
15
who led you through the vast and fearsome desert, with its poisonous snakes, scorpions and waterless, thirsty ground; who brought water out of flint rock for you;
16
who fed you in the desert with man, unknown to your ancestors; all the while humbling and testing you in order to do you good in the end -
17
you will think to yourself, 'My own power and the strength of my own hand have gotten me this wealth.'
18
No, you are to remember ADONAI your God, because it is he who is giving you the power to get wealth, in order to confirm his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as is happening even today.
