12 lest when you have eaten and you are satisfied and you have built good houses and you live in them,
13 and your herds and your flocks have multiplied, and you have accumulated silver and gold, and all that you have has multiplied,
14 then your heart becomes proud and you forget Yahweh your God, the one who brought you out from the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery,
15 the one leading you in the great and terrible desert infested with dangerous snakes and scorpions and parched ground, where there is no water, and the one bringing out water for you from flint rock,
16 the one feeding you manna in the desert, food that your ancestors did not know, in order to humble you and in order to test you so that he could do good to you in the future.
17 And you may think in your heart, ‘My strength and the might of my hand acquired this wealth for me.’
18 But you must remember Yahweh your God, for he is the one giving you strength to acquire wealth in order to confirm his covenant that he swore to your ancestors as it is today.
