Deuteronomy 8:16-18

Expanded Bible

¹⁶ and manna to eat in the ·desert [wilderness; Ex. 16:31–36]. Manna was something your ·ancestors [fathers] had never seen. He did this to ·take away your pride [humble you] and to test you, so things would go well for you in the end. ¹⁷ You might say ·to yourself [^Lin your heart/mind], “I am rich because of ·my own power and strength [^Lthe power and strength of my hand; Ps. 30:6–7],” ¹⁸ but remember the Lord your God! It is he who gives you the power to become rich, keeping the ·agreement [covenant; treaty] he promised to your ·ancestors [fathers], as it is today.
