Deuteronomy 8:15-17

International Standard Version

¹⁵ who brought you out of the land of Egypt—from the house of slavery—and who led you through the vast and dangerous desert—that parched land without water—with its poisonous snakes and scorpions. He brought water out of solid rock for you ¹⁶ and fed you in the desert with manna that neither you nor your ancestors had known to humble and test you so that things may go well with you later. ¹⁷ You may say to yourselves, ‘I have become wealthy by my own strength and by my own ability.’^[a]
