¹¹ “Take care for yourself so that you not forget Yahweh your God by not keeping his commandments and his regulations and his statutes that I am commanding you today,^{[a] 12} lest when you have eaten and you are satisfied and you have built good houses and you live in them, ¹³ and your herds and your flocks have multiplied, and you have accumulated silver and gold,^[b] and all that you have^[c] has multiplied, ¹⁴ then your heart becomes proud^[d] and you forget Yahweh your God, the one who brought you out^[e] from the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery, ¹⁵ the one leading you in the great and terrible desert infested with dangerous^[f] snakes^[g] and scorpions^[h] and parched ground, where there is^[i] no water, and the one bringing out water for you from flint rock, ¹⁶ the one feeding you^[j] manna in the desert, food that your ancestors^[k] did not know, in order to humble you and in order to test you so that he could do good to you in the future.^{[l] 17} And you may think^[m] in your heart, ‘My strength and the might of my hand acquired this wealth for^[n] me.’ ¹⁸ But you must remember Yahweh your God, for he is the one giving you strength to acquire wealth in order to confirm his covenant that he swore to your ancestors^[o] as it is today.^{[p] 19} And it will happen that if you indeed forget Yahweh your God and you go after other gods and you serve them and you bow down before them, I warn you today that you will surely perish. ²⁰ As with the nations that Yahweh is destroying before you,^[q] so you shall perish because you would not obey the voice of Yahweh your God.
