Deuteronomy 8:16-18

Contemporary English Version

¹⁶ He also gave you manna,^[a] a kind of food your ancestors had never even heard about. The Lord was testing you to make you trust him, so that later on he could be good to you.

¹⁷ When you become successful, don't say, “I'm rich, and I've earned it all myself.” ¹⁸ Instead, remember that the Lord your God gives you the strength to make a living. That's how he keeps the promise he made to your ancestors.
