Lexham English Bible
15 the one leading you in the great and terrible desert infested with dangerous[a] snakes[b] and scorpions[c] and parched ground, where there is[d] no water, and the one bringing out water for you from flint rock, 16 the one feeding you[e] manna in the desert, food that your ancestors[f] did not know, in order to humble you and in order to test you so that he could do good to you in the future.[g] 17 And you may think[h] in your heart, ‘My strength and the might of my hand acquired this wealth for[i] me.’

15 He led you through the vast and dreadful wilderness,(A) that thirsty and waterless land, with its venomous snakes(B) and scorpions. He brought you water out of hard rock.(C) 16 He gave you manna(D) to eat in the wilderness, something your ancestors had never known,(E) to humble and test(F) you so that in the end it might go well with you. 17 You may say to yourself,(G) “My power and the strength of my hands(H) have produced this wealth for me.”
