New Testament

Deuteronomy 8:15-20 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

15. the one leading you in the great and terrible desert infested with dangerous snakes and scorpions and parched ground, where there is no water, and the one bringing out water for you from flint rock,

16. the one feeding you manna in the desert, food that your ancestors 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.

17. And you may think in your heart, ‘My strength and the might of my hand acquired this wealth for 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 as it is today.

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, so you shall perish because you would not obey the voice of Yahweh your God.
