Verse 15 is found in chapter 8 of Deuteronomy. Moses again warns against forgetting the Lord when Israel achieves economic and military prosperity.

Forgetting God would lead to the same destruction that affected the nations expelled from the land.

que te guio por el desierto grande y temible, con serpientes ardientes y escorpiones, un lugar de sed donde no había agua; que hizo salir agua para ti de la roca de pedernal;

il qual ti ha condotto per questo grande e terribile deserto, paese di serpi, di serpenti ardenti, e scorpioni; paese arido, senz’acqua; il quale ti ha fatto uscire acqua della rupe del macigno;
Que te guiou por aquele grande e terrível deserto de serpentes ardentes, e de escorpiões, e de terra seca, em que não havia água; e tirou água para ti da rocha pederneira;
曾引領你經過那大而可怕的曠野,有火蛇、蠍子、乾旱無水之地。他也曾為你使水從堅硬的磐石中流出來,
