Deuteronomy 8
8ALL THE commandments which I command you this day you shall be watchful to do, that you may live and multiply and go in and possess the land which the Lord swore to give to your fathers.H4687H6680H3117H8104H6213H2421H7235H935H3423H776H3068H7650H12And you shall [earnestly] remember all the way which the Lord your God led you these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and to prove you, to know what was in your [mind and] heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not.H2142H1870H3068H430H3212H705H8141H4057H6031H5254H3045H3824H8104H46873And He humbled you and allowed you to hunger and fed you with manna, which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you recognize {and} personally know that man does not live by bread only, but man lives by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord.H6031H7456H398H4478H3045H1H3045H3045H120H2421H3899H905H4161H6310H3068H120H24214Your clothing did not become old upon you nor did your feet swell these forty years.H8071H1086H7272H1216H705H81415Know also in your [minds and] hearts that, as a man disciplines {and} instructs his son, so the Lord your God disciplines {and} instructs you.H3045H5973H3824H376H3256H1121H3068H430H32566So you shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God, to walk in His ways and [reverently] fear Him.H8104H4687H3068H430H3212H1870H33727For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, flowing forth in valleys and hills;H3068H430H935H2896H776H776H5158H4325H5869H8415H3318H1237H20228A land of wheat and barley, and vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive trees and honey;H776H2406H8184H1612H8384H7416H776H8081H2132H17069A land in which you shall eat food without shortage and lack nothing in it; a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills you can dig copper.H776H834H398H3899H3808H4544H2637H776H68H1270H2042H2672H517810When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the Lord your God for all the good land which He has given you.H398H7646H1288H3068H430H2896H776H541411Beware that you do not forget the Lord your God by not keeping His commandments, His precepts, and His statutes which I command you today,H8104H7911H3068H430H8104H4687H4941H2708H6680H311712Lest when you have eaten and are full, and have built goodly houses and live in them,H398H7646H1129H2896H1004H342713And when your herds and flocks multiply and your silver and gold is multiplied and all you have is multiplied,H1241H6629H7235H3701H2091H7235H723514Then your [minds and] hearts be lifted up and you forget the Lord your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage,H3824H7311H7911H3068H430H3318H776H4714H1004H565015Who led you through the great and terrible wilderness, with its fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty ground where there was no water, but Who brought you forth water out of the flinty rock,H3212H1419H3372H4057H8314H5175H6137H6774H4325H3318H4325H6697H249616Who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers did not know, that He might humble you and test you, to do you good in the end.H398H4057H4478H1H3045H6031H5254H3190H31917And beware lest you say in your [mind and] heart, My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth.H559H3824H3581H6108H3027H6213H242818But you shall [earnestly] remember the Lord your God, for it is He Who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.H2142H3068H430H5414H3581H6213H2428H6965H1285H7650H1H311719And if you forget the Lord your God and walk after other gods and serve them and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish.H7911H7911H3068H430H1980H310H312H430H5647H7812H5749H3117H6H620Like the nations which the Lord makes to perish before you, so shall you perish, because you would not obey the voice of the Lord your God.H1471H3068H6H6440H6H6118H8085H6963H3068H430
