Deuteronomy 8:15-17

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁵ He led you through that great and terrible desert where there were poisonous snakes and scorpions. The ground was dry, and there was no water anywhere. But he gave you water out of a solid rock. ¹⁶ In the desert he fed you manna—something your ancestors had never seen. He tested you to make you humble so that everything would go well for you in the end. ¹⁷ Don’t ever say to yourself, ‘I got all this wealth by my own power and ability.’
