Deuteronomy 8:11-20 - Exhortation To Remember That Blessing Comes From God

¹¹ Beware that you do not forget Jehovah your God, in not keeping His commandments, and His judgments, and His statutes, which I command you today, ¹² lest when you have eaten and are full and have built good 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 might forget Jehovah your God who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of slaves. ¹⁵ He led you through the great and terrible wilderness, with fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty ground, where there was no water, who brought you forth water out of the rock of flint, ¹⁶ who fed you in the wilderness with manna which your fathers did not know, so that He might humble you and so that He might prove you, to do you good in your latter end, ¹⁷ and so that you might not say in your heart, My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth. ¹⁸ But you shall remember Jehovah your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, so that He may confirm His covenant which He has sworn to your fathers, as it is today. ¹⁹ And it shall be if you do at all forget Jehovah your God and walk after other gods and serve them and worship them, I testify against you today that you shall surely perish. ²⁰ As the nations whom Jehovah destroys before your face, so you shall perish because you would not listen to the voice of Jehovah your God.
