Deuteronomy 8:5-18
English Standard Version
5 Know then in your heart that, (A)as a man disciplines his son, the Lord your God disciplines you. 6 So you shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God by walking in his ways and by fearing him. 7 For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, (B)a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, flowing out in the valleys and hills, 8 a land of wheat and barley, (C)of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive trees and honey, 9 a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing, a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you can dig copper. 10 And you shall eat and be full, and you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land he has given you.
11 “Take care lest you forget the Lord your God by not keeping his commandments and his rules and his statutes, which I command you today, 12 (D)lest, when you have eaten and are full and have built good houses and live in them, 13 and when your herds and flocks multiply and your silver and gold is multiplied and all that you have is multiplied, 14 (E)then your heart be lifted up, and you (F)forget the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery, 15 who (G)led you through the great and terrifying wilderness, (H)with its fiery serpents and scorpions (I)and thirsty ground where there was no water, (J)who brought you water out of the flinty rock, 16 who fed you in the wilderness with (K)manna that your fathers did not know, that he might humble you and test you, (L)to do you good in the end. 17 Beware (M)lest you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth.’ 18 You shall remember the Lord your God, for (N)it is he who gives you power to get wealth, (O)that he may confirm his covenant that he swore to your fathers, as it is this day.

Deuteronomy 8:5-18
New International Version
5 Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the Lord your God disciplines you.(A)
6 Observe the commands of the Lord your God, walking in obedience to him(B) and revering him.(C) 7 For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land(D)—a land with brooks, streams, and deep springs gushing out into the valleys and hills;(E) 8 a land with wheat and barley,(F) vines(G) and fig trees,(H) pomegranates, olive oil and honey;(I) 9 a land where bread(J) will not be scarce and you will lack nothing;(K) a land where the rocks are iron and you can dig copper out of the hills.(L)
10 When you have eaten and are satisfied,(M) praise the Lord your God for the good land he has given you. 11 Be careful that you do not forget(N) the Lord your God, failing to observe his commands, his laws and his decrees that I am giving you this day. 12 Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses and settle down,(O) 13 and when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase and all you have is multiplied, 14 then your heart will become proud and you will forget(P) 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,(Q) that thirsty and waterless land, with its venomous snakes(R) and scorpions. He brought you water out of hard rock.(S) 16 He gave you manna(T) to eat in the wilderness, something your ancestors had never known,(U) to humble and test(V) you so that in the end it might go well with you. 17 You may say to yourself,(W) “My power and the strength of my hands(X) 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,(Y) and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today.
