I be full

“When the Lord your God brings you into the land He swore to your fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that He would give you—a land with large and beautiful cities that you did not build,

When you eat and are full, you will praise the Lord your God for the good land He has given you.

When I bring them into the land I swore to give their fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey, they will eat their fill and prosper. They will turn to other gods and worship them, despising Me and breaking My covenant.

Then Jeshurun

became fat and rebelled—

you became fat, bloated, and gorged.
He abandoned the God who made him
and scorned the Rock of his salvation.

They captured fortified cities and fertile land
and took possession of well-supplied houses,
cisterns cut out of rock, vineyards,
olive groves, and fruit trees in abundance.
They ate, were filled,
became prosperous, and delighted in Your great goodness.

If I placed my confidence in gold
or called fine gold my trust,

Evil generation,
pay attention to the word of the Lord!
Have I been a wilderness to Israel
or a land of dense darkness?
Why do My people claim,
“We will go where we want;
we will no longer come to You”?

Your fame spread among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect through My splendor, which I had bestowed on you.” This is the declaration of the Lord God.

This word is by decree of the observers;
the matter is a command from the holy ones.
This is so the living will know
that the Most High is ruler
over the kingdom of men.
He gives it to anyone He wants
and sets the lowliest of men over it.

When they had pasture,
they became satisfied;
they were satisfied,
and their hearts became proud.
Therefore they forgot Me.

The assembled people began to shout, “It’s the voice of a god and not of a man!”

Who

But Pharaoh responded, “Who is Yahweh that I should obey Him by letting Israel go? I do not know anything about Yahweh, and besides, I will not let Israel go.”

So now, don’t let Hezekiah deceive you, and don’t let him mislead you like this. Don’t believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom has been able to deliver his people from my power or the power of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you from my power!’”

Or

People don’t despise the thief if he steals
to satisfy himself when he is hungry.

The scepter of the wicked will not remain
over the land allotted to the righteous,
so that the righteous will not apply their hands to injustice.

And take the name

To be a thief’s partner is to hate oneself;
he hears the curse but will not testify.

Do not misuse the name of the Lord your God, because the Lord will not leave anyone unpunished who misuses His name.

“When someone sins in any of these ways:

If he has seen, heard, or known about something he has witnessed, and did not respond to a public call to testify, he is responsible for his sin.

And again he denied it with an oath, “I don’t know the man!”

General references

“Be careful that you don’t forget the Lord your God by failing to keep His command—the ordinances and statutes—I am giving you today.

If I placed my confidence in gold
or called fine gold my trust,

The little that the righteous man has is better
than the abundance of many wicked people.

I know what I’ll do so that when I’m removed from management, people will welcome me into their homes.’

But if we have food and clothing,
we will be content with these.
