Moses said to Israel:

10 After you eat and are full, give praise to the Lord your God for the good land he gave you. 11 (A) Make sure that you never forget the Lord or disobey his laws and teachings that I am giving you today. If you always obey them, 12 you will have plenty to eat, and you will build good houses to live in. 13 You will get more and more cattle, sheep, silver, gold, and other possessions.

14 But when all this happens, don't be proud! Don't forget that you were once slaves in Egypt and that it was the Lord who set you free.
