Deuteronomy 8:11-20

1599 Geneva Bible

¹¹ Beware that thou forget not the Lord thy God, not keeping his commandments and his laws, and his ordinances, which I command thee this day:

¹² Lest when thou hast eaten and filled thyself, and hast built goodly houses and dwelt therein,

¹³ And thy beasts, and the sheep are increased, and thy silver and gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is increased;

¹⁴ Then thine heart ^[a]be lifted up and thou forget the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage,

¹⁵ Who was thy guide in that great and terrible wilderness (wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions and drought, where was no water, ^(A)who brought forth water for thee out of the rock of flint:

¹⁶ Who fed thee in the wilderness with ^(B)Manna, which thy fathers knew not) to humble thee, and to prove thee, that he might do thee good at the latter end.

¹⁷ Beware lest thou say in thine heart, My power, and the strength of mine own hand hath prepared me this abundance.

¹⁸ But remember the Lord thy God: for it is he which ^[b]giveth thee power to get substance to establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as appeareth this day.

¹⁹ And if thou forget the Lord thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I ^[c]testify unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish.

²⁰ As the nations which the Lord destroyeth before you, so ye shall perish, because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the Lord your God.
