² Remember how the Lord your God led^(A) you all the way in the wilderness these forty years, to humble and test^(B) you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands. ³ He humbled^(C) you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna,^(D) which neither you nor your ancestors had known, to teach^(E) you that man does not live on bread^(F) alone but on every word that comes from the mouth^(G) of the Lord.^(H)

¹⁴ then your heart will become proud and you will forget^(A) 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,^(B) that thirsty and waterless land, with its venomous snakes^(C) and scorpions. He brought you water out of hard rock.^{(D) 16} He gave you manna^(E) to eat in the wilderness, something your ancestors had never known,^(F) to humble and test^(G) you so that in the end it might go well with you.
