10. When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the Lord your God. Praise him for the good land he has given you.
11. Make sure you don't forget the Lord your God. Don't fail to obey his commands, laws and rules. I'm giving them to you today.
12. But suppose you don't obey his commands. And suppose you have plenty to eat. You build fine houses and settle down in them.
13. Your herds and flocks increase their numbers. You also get more and more silver and gold. And everything you have multiplies.
14. Then your hearts will become proud. And you will forget the Lord your God. The Lord brought you out of Egypt. That's the land where you were slaves.
15. He led you through that huge and terrible desert. It was a dry land. It didn't have any water. It had poisonous snakes and scorpions. The Lord gave you water out of solid rock.
16. He gave you manna to eat in the desert. Your parents had never even known anything about manna before. The Lord took your pride away. He put you to the test. He did it so that things would go well with you in the end.
17. You might say to yourselves, "Our power and our strong hands have made us rich."
18. But remember the Lord your God. He gives you the ability to produce wealth. That shows he stands by the terms of his covenant. He promised it with an oath to your people long ago. And he's still faithful to his covenant today.
19. Don't forget the Lord your God. Don't follow other gods. Don't worship them and bow down to them. I give witness against you today that if you do, you will certainly be destroyed.
