Verse 10 is found in chapter 6 of Deuteronomy. Moses warns that the abundance of Canaan can become a spiritual test. Israel will receive cities, houses, wells, and vineyards that it did not build or plant, and precisely that prosperity may lead it to forget the God who brought it out of Egypt.

Wenn dich nun der HERR, dein Gott, in das Land bringen wird, das er deinen Vätern Abraham, Isaak und Jakob geschworen hat dir zu geben, große und feine Städte, die du nicht gebaut hast,

Cuando Jehová tu Dios te haga entrar en la tierra que juró a tus padres, Abraham, Isaac y Jacob, que te daría, con ciudades grandes y buenas que tú no construiste,
L'Eternel, ton Dieu, te fera entrer dans le pays qu'il a juré à tes pères, à Abraham, à Isaac et à Jacob, de te donner. Tu posséderas de grandes et bonnes villes que tu n'as point bâties,
E quando il Signore Iddio tuo ti avrà introdotto nel paese, del quale egli ha giurato a’ tuoi padri, ad Abrahamo, a Isacco, e a Giacobbe, ch’egli te lo darebbe, nelle città grandi e belle, le quali tu non hai edificate;
Quando, pois, o SENHOR teu Deus te introduzir na terra que jurou a teus pais, Abraão, Isaque e Jacó, que te daria, com grandes e boas cidades, que tu não edificaste,
