12 clest, when you have eaten and are full and have built good houses and live in them, 13and when your herds and flocks multiply and your silver and gold is multiplied and all that you have is multiplied, 14 dthen your heart be lifted up, and you eforget the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery,1 Samuel 25:36-38

9Their houses are jsafe from fear,and kno rod of God is upon them.
10Their bull breeds without fail;
their cow calves and ldoes not miscarry.
11They send out their mlittle boys like a flock,
and their children dance.
12They sing to nthe tambourine and othe lyre
and rejoice to the sound of pthe pipe.
13They qspend their days in prosperity,
and in rpeace they go down to sSheol.
