New Testament

Deuteronomy 8:7-19 Amplified Bible (AMP)

7. For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, flowing forth in valleys and hills;

8. A land of wheat and barley, and vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive trees and honey;

9. A land in which you shall eat food without shortage and lack nothing in it; a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills you can dig copper.

10. When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the Lord your God for all the good land which He has given you.

11. Beware that you do not forget the Lord your God by not keeping His commandments, His precepts, and His statutes which I command you today,

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.
