Warning Against Forgetting God in Prosperity

11

Beware lest you forget the LORD your God, in not keeping his commandments, and his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command you this day;

12

lest, when you have eaten and are full, and have built fine houses, and lived in them;

13

and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied;

14

then your heart might be lifted up, and you forget the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage;

15

who led you through the great and terrible wilderness, with fiery serpents and scorpions, and thirsty ground where there was no water; who poured water for you out of the rock of flint;

16

who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers didn’t know; that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end:

17

and lest you say in your heart, “My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth.”

18

But you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth; that he may establish his covenant which he swore to your fathers, as at this day.

19

It shall be, if you shall forget the LORD your God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish.

20

As the nations that the LORD makes to perish before you, so you shall perish; because you wouldn’t listen to the LORD your God’s voice.
