13 and have obtained herds of oxen, and flocks of sheep, and a plentitude of gold and silver and all things,
14 your heart might be lifted up, and you might not remember the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt, from the house of servitude,
15 and who was your leader in the great and terrible wilderness, in which there was the serpent with a burning breath, and the scorpion, and the snake of thirst, and no waters at all. He led streams out of the hardest rock,
16 and he nourished you in the wilderness with Manna, which your fathers had not known. And after he had afflicted and tested you, in the very end, he took pity on you.
17 Otherwise, you might say in your heart: 'My own strength, and the power of my own hand, have brought forth all these things for me.'
