Deuteronomy 10:22

Egypt
God's faithfulness

20 You are to fear the LORD your God and serve Him. Hold fast to Him and take your oaths in His name.

21 He is your praise and He is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome wonders that your eyes have seen.

Your fathers went down to Egypt, seventy in all, and now the LORD your God has made you as numerous as the stars in the sky.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
