He said: “Watch out for yourself that you may not forget Jehovah your God so as not to keep his commandments and his judicial decisions and his statutes that I am commanding you today; for fear that you may eat and indeed satisfy yourself, and you may build good houses and indeed dwell in them, and your herd and your flock may increase, and silver and gold may increase for you, and all that is yours may increase; and your heart may indeed be lifted up and you may indeed forget Jehovah your God. ” ​ — Deuteronomy 8: 11 - 14.
Lai tad, kad tu būsi ēdis un paēdis, un sev uzcēlis labus namus, un tur dzīvosi, kad tavi vērši un tavi sīkie lopi būs savairojušies, un tavs sudrabs un tavs zelts sāks pie tevis krāties, un viss, kas tev vien pieder, būs vairojies, lai tad tava sirds nelepojas un tu neaizmirsti to Kungu, savu Dievu. ” ( 5. Mozus 8: 11 — 14.)
