Deuteronomy 8:7-14

7For 1the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of streams of water, of fountains and springs, flowing out in valleys and hills; 8a land of wheat and barley, of vines, fig trees, and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey; 9a land where you will eat food without shortage, in which you will not lack anything; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you can dig copper. 10When 2you have eaten and are satisfied, you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land which He has given you.

11“Be careful that you do not 3forget the Lord your God by failing to keep His commandments, His ordinances, and His statutes which I am commanding you today; 12otherwise, 4when you eat and are satisfied, and you build good houses and live in them, 13and when your herds and your flocks increase, and your silver and gold increase, and everything that you have increases, 14then your heart will 5become proud and you will 6forget the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of 7slavery;
