Deuteronomy 8:10-18

10You will eat your fill and then praise the Lord your God because of the good land he has given you.

11Be sure you do not forget the Lord your God by not keeping his commandments, ordinances, and statutes that I am giving you today.

12When you eat your fill, when you build and occupy good houses,

13when your cattle and flocks increase, when you have plenty of silver and gold, and when you have abundance of everything,

14be sure you do not feel self-important and forget the Lord your God who brought you from the land of Egypt, the place of slavery,

15and who brought you through the great, fearful desert of venomous serpents and scorpions, an arid place with no water. He made water flow from a flint rock and

16fed you in the desert with manna (which your ancestors had never before known) so that he might by humbling you test you and eventually bring good to you.

17Be careful not to say, “My own ability and skill have gotten me this wealth.”

18You must remember the Lord your God, for he is the one who gives ability to get wealth; if you do this he will confirm his covenant that he made by oath to your ancestors, even as he has to this day.
