Deuteronomy 8 — Context

8

A land of grain and vines and fig-trees and fair fruits; a land of oil-giving olive-trees and honey;

9

Where there will be bread for you in full measure and you will be in need of nothing; a land where the very stones are iron and from whose hills you may get copper.

10

And you will have food enough and be full, praising the Lord your God for the good land he has given you.

11

Then take care that you are not turned away from the Lord your God and from keeping his orders and decisions and laws which I give you this day:

12

And when you have taken food and are full, and have made fair houses for yourselves and are living in them;

13

And when your herds and your flocks are increased, and your stores of silver and gold, and you have wealth of every sort;

14

Take care that your hearts are not lifted up in pride, giving no thought to the Lord your God who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house;
