New Testament

Deuteronomy 8:10-17 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

10. You will have all you want to eat. Then praise the Lord your God. He has given you a good land.

11. Be careful not to forget the Lord your God. Do not fail to obey his commands, laws and rules. I am giving them to you today.

12. You will eat all you want. You will build nice houses and live in them.

13. Your herds of cattle and flocks of sheep will grow large. Your silver and gold will grow. You will have more of everything.

14. Then your heart will become proud. You will forget the Lord your God. He brought you out of the land of Egypt, where you were slaves.

15. He led you through the large and terrible desert. It was dry and had no water. It had poisonous snakes and stinging insects. He gave you water from a solid rock.

16. He gave you manna to eat in the desert. Manna was something your ancestors had never seen. He did this to take away your pride and to test you. He did it so things would go well for you in the end.

17. You might say to yourself, “I am rich because of my own strength and power.”
