When you have nothing except God,
you find that God is enough.
But when you have so many things and God,
you, too often, forget God.

² Now they sin more and more;
they make idols for themselves from their silver,
cleverly fashioned images,
all of them the work of craftsmen.
It is said of these people,
"They offer human sacrifice
and kiss ^[a] the calf-idols."

³ Therefore they will be like the morning mist,
like the early dew that disappears,
like chaff swirling from a threshing floor,
like smoke escaping through a window.

⁴ "But I am the LORD your God,
who brought you out of ^[b] Egypt.
You shall acknowledge no God but me,
no Savior except me.

⁵ I cared for you in the desert,
in the land of burning heat.

⁶ When I fed them, they were satisfied;
when they were satisfied, they became proud;
then they forgot me.
