The Scriptures 1998

Deuteronomy 8:13-18 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

13. and your herds and your flocks increase, and your silver and your gold are increased, and all that you have is increased,

14. that your heart then becomes lifted up, and you forget יהוה your Elohim who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, from the house of bondage,

15. who led you through that great and awesome wilderness – fiery serpents and scorpions and thirst – where there was no water, who brought water for you out of the flinty rock,

16. who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers did not know, in order to humble you and to try you, to do you good in the end,

17. you then shall say in your heart, ‘My power and the strength of my hand have made for me this wealth!’

18. “But you shall remember יהוה your Elohim, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, in order to establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is today.
