Deuteronomy 8:13 In-Context

11 "Take care for yourself so that you not forget Yahweh your God [by] not keeping his commandments and his regulations and his statutes that I [am] commanding you {today},

12 lest [when] you have eaten and you are satisfied and you have built good houses and you live [in them],

13 and your herds and your flocks have multiplied, and {you have accumulated silver and gold}, and all that {you have} has multiplied,

14 then your heart {becomes proud} and you forget Yahweh your God, {the one who brought you out} from the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery,

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,
