New International Version

Deuteronomy 8:14-20 New International Version (NIV)

14. then your heart will become proud and you will forget the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

15. He led you through the vast and dreadful wilderness, that thirsty and waterless land, with its venomous snakes and scorpions. He brought you water out of hard rock.

16. He gave you manna to eat in the wilderness, something your ancestors had never known, to humble and test you so that in the end it might go well with you.

17. You may say to yourself, “My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me.”

18. But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today.

19. If you ever forget the Lord your God and follow other gods and worship and bow down to them, I testify against you today that you will surely be destroyed.

20. Like the nations the Lord destroyed before you, so you will be destroyed for not obeying the Lord your God.
