Deuteronomy

Deuteronomy 6:10–12

¹⁰And when the LORD your God brings you into the land He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that He would give you— a land with great and splendid cities that you did not build, ¹¹with houses full of every good thing with which you did not fill them, with wells that you did not dig, and with vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant— and when you eat and are satisfied, ¹²be careful not to forget the LORD who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
