12. Lest when you have eaten and are full, and have built goodly houses and live in them,
13. And when your herds and flocks multiply and your silver and gold is multiplied and all you have is multiplied,
14. Then your [minds and] hearts be lifted up and you forget the Lord your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage,
15. Who led you through the great and terrible wilderness, with its fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty ground where there was no water, but Who brought you forth water out of the flinty rock,
16. Who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers did not know, that He might humble you and test you, to do you good in the end.
17. And beware lest you say in your [mind and] heart, My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth.
18. But you shall [earnestly] remember the Lord your God, for it is He Who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.
19. And if you forget the Lord your God and walk after other gods and serve them and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish.
20. Like the nations which the Lord makes to perish before you, so shall you perish, because you would not obey the voice of the Lord your God.
