Deuteronomy 8:12-17
12otherwiseH6435, 1when you have eatenH398 and are satisfiedH7646, and have builtH1129 goodH2896 housesH1004 and livedH3427 in them,
13and when your herdsH1241 and your flocksH6629 multiplyH7235, and your silverH3701 and goldH2091 multiplyH7235, and allH3605 that you have multipliesH7235,
14then your heartH3824 will becomeH7311 2proudH7311 and you will 3forgetH7911 the LordH3068 your GodH430 who broughtH3318 you out from the landH776 of EgyptH4714, out of the houseH1004 of 4slaveryH5650.
15He ledH1980 you through 5the greatH1419 and terribleH3372 wildernessH4057, with its 6fieryH8314 serpentsH8314 and scorpionsH6137 and thirstyH6774 groundH6774 whereH834 thereH369 was noH369 waterH4325; He 7broughtH3318 waterH4325 for you out of the rockH6697 of flintH2496.
16In the wildernessH4057 He fedH398 you mannaH4478 8whichH834 your fathersH1 did not knowH3045, that He might humbleH6031 you and that He might 9testH5254 you, to doH3190 goodH3190 for you 10in the endH319.
17Otherwise, 11you may sayH559 in your heartH3824, ‘My powerH3581 and the strengthH6108 of my handH3027 madeH6213 me thisH2088 wealthH2428.’
