Deuteronomy 8:17 in Context — Deuteronomy 8

15 Que te fez caminhar por um deserto grande e espantoso, de serpentes ardentes, e de escorpiões, e de sede, onde nenhuma água havia, e ele te tirou água da rocha de pederneiras;

16 Que te sustentou com maná no deserto, comida que teus pais não conheciam, afligindo-te e provando-te, para ao fim fazer-te bem;

17 E digas em teu coração: Meu poder e a força de minha mão me trouxeram esta riqueza.

18 Antes lembra-te do SENHOR teu Deus: porque ele te dá o poder para fazer as riquezas, a fim de confirmar seu pacto que jurou a teus pais, como neste dia.

19 Mas será, se chegares a esquecer-te do SENHOR teu Deus, e andares atrás de deuses alheios, e lhes servires, e a eles te encurvares, atesto-o hoje contra vós, que certamente perecereis.
