Deuteronomy 8

8All the commandments which I command thee this day ^ashall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers. ²And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee ^bthese forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and ^cto prove thee, ^dto know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no. ³And he humbled thee, and ^esuffered thee to hunger, and ^ffed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that ^gman doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live. ^4hThy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years. ⁵Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man ⁱchasteneth his son, so the Lord thy God chasteneth thee. ⁶Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, ^kto walk in his ways, and to fear him. ⁷For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land, ^la land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills; ⁸A land of wheat, and barley, ^mand vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land ^†of oil olive, and honey; ⁹A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land ⁿwhose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass. ¹⁰When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the Lord thy God for the good land which he hath given thee. ¹¹Beware that thou forget not the Lord thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day: ^12oLest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein; ¹³And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied; ^14pThen thine heart be lifted up, and thou ^qforget the Lord thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage; ¹⁵Who ^rled thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were ^sfiery serpents, and ^tscorpions, and ^udrought, where there was no water; ^vwho brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint; ¹⁶Who fed thee in the wilderness with ^wmanna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, ^xto do thee good at thy latter end; ¹⁷And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth. ¹⁸But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: ^yfor it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, ^zthat he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day. ¹⁹And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the Lord thy God, and walk ^aafter other gods, and serve them, and worship them, ^bI testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish. ²⁰As the nations which the Lord destroyeth before your face, ^cso shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the Lord your God.
