¹⁵ He led you through the big desert that brought fear with its poisonous snakes and scorpions and thirsty ground where there was no water. He brought you water out of hard rock. ¹⁶ In the desert He fed you bread from heaven, which your fathers did not know about. He did this so you would not have pride and that He might test you. It was for your good in the end. ¹⁷ Be careful not to say in your heart, ‘My power and strong hand have made me rich.’
