16. He fed you in the wilderness with manna that your fathers had not known, in order to humble and test you, so that in the end He might cause you to prosper.
17. You may say to yourself, ‘My power and my own ability have gained this wealth for me,’
18. but remember that the Lord your God gives you the power to gain wealth, in order to confirm His covenant He swore to your fathers, as it is today.
19. If you ever forget the Lord your God and go after other gods to worship and bow down to them, I testify against you today that you will perish.
20. Like the nations the Lord is about to destroy before you, you will perish if you do not obey the Lord your God.
