Bible verse
Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses in which to dwell,
Deuteronomy 8:12 · BSB
The verses around it, from Deuteronomy 8.
8 a land of wheat, barley, vines, fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of olive oil and honey;
9 a land where you will eat food without scarcity, where you will lack nothing; a land whose rocks are iron and whose hills are ready to be mined for copper.
10 When you eat and are satisfied, you are to bless the LORD your God for the good land that He has given you.
11 Be careful not to forget the LORD your God by failing to keep His commandments and ordinances and statutes, which I am giving you this day.
12 Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses in which to dwell,
13 and when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase and all that you have is multiplied,
14 then your heart will become proud, and you will forget the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
15 He led you through the vast and terrifying wilderness with its venomous snakes and scorpions, a thirsty and waterless land. He brought you water from the rock of flint.
16 He fed you in the wilderness with manna that your fathers had not known, in order to humble you and test you, so that in the end He might cause you to prosper.
