- Deuteronomy 8:14 tn The words “be sure” are not in the Hebrew text; vv. 12-14 are part of the previous sentence. For stylistic reasons a new sentence was started at the beginning of v. 12 in the translation and the words “be sure” repeated from v. 11 to indicate the connection.

New International Version
12 Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses and settle down,(A) 13 and when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase and all you have is multiplied, 14 then your heart will become proud and you will forget(B) the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
