Deuteronomy 8:7-14
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Cautions About Prosperity. 7 (A)For the Lord, your God, is bringing you into a good country, a land with streams of water, with springs and fountains welling up in the hills and valleys, 8 a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, of olive trees and of honey, 9 a land where you will always have bread and where you will lack nothing, a land whose stones contain iron and in whose hills you can mine copper. 10 But when you have eaten and are satisfied, you must bless the Lord, your God, for the good land he has given you. 11 (B)Be careful not to forget the Lord, your God, by failing to keep his commandments and ordinances and statutes which I enjoin on you today: 12 lest, when you have eaten and are satisfied, and have built fine houses and lived in them, 13 and your herds and flocks have increased, your silver and gold has increased, and all your property has increased, 14 you then become haughty of heart and forget the Lord, your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that house of slavery;

Deuteronomy 8:7-14
New International Version
7 For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land(A)—a land with brooks, streams, and deep springs gushing out into the valleys and hills;(B) 8 a land with wheat and barley,(C) vines(D) and fig trees,(E) pomegranates, olive oil and honey;(F) 9 a land where bread(G) will not be scarce and you will lack nothing;(H) a land where the rocks are iron and you can dig copper out of the hills.(I)
10 When you have eaten and are satisfied,(J) praise the Lord your God for the good land he has given you. 11 Be careful that you do not forget(K) the Lord your God, failing to observe his commands, his laws and his decrees that I am giving you this day. 12 Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses and settle down,(L) 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(M) the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
Deuteronomy 32:11-14
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
11 As an eagle incites its nestlings,
hovering over its young,
So he spread his wings, took them,
bore them upon his pinions.(A)
12 The Lord alone guided them,
no foreign god was with them.(B)
13 (C)He had them mount the summits of the land,[a]
fed them the produce of its fields;
He suckled them with honey from the crags
and olive oil from the flinty rock;
14 Butter from cows and milk from sheep,
with the best of lambs;
Bashan[b] bulls and goats,
with the cream of finest wheat;
and the foaming blood of grapes you drank.
Deuteronomy 32:11-14
New International Version
11 like an eagle that stirs up its nest
and hovers over its young,(A)
that spreads its wings to catch them
and carries them aloft.(B)
12 The Lord alone led(C) him;(D)
no foreign god was with him.(E)
13 He made him ride on the heights(F) of the land
and fed him with the fruit of the fields.
He nourished him with honey from the rock,(G)
and with oil(H) from the flinty crag,
14 with curds and milk from herd and flock
and with fattened lambs and goats,
with choice rams of Bashan(I)
and the finest kernels of wheat.(J)
You drank the foaming blood of the grape.(K)

25 (A)They captured fortified cities and fertile land;
they took possession of houses filled with all good things,
Cisterns already dug, vineyards, olive groves,
and fruit trees in abundance.
They ate and had their fill,
fattened and feasted on your great goodness.
