8Be careful to follow every command I am giving you today, so that you may live and increase and may enter and possess the land that the LORD promised on oath to your forefathers.H4687H6680H3117H8104H6213H2421H7235H935H3423H776H3068H7650H12Remember how the LORD your God led you all the way in the desert these forty years, to humble you and to test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands.H2142H1870H3068H430H3212H705H8141H4057H6031H5254H3045H3824H8104H46873He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your fathers had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.H6031H7456H398H4478H3045H1H3045H3045H120H2421H3899H905H4161H6310H3068H120H24214Your clothes did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years.H8071H1086H7272H1216H705H81415Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the LORD your God disciplines you.H3045H5973H3824H376H3256H1121H3068H430H32566Observe the commands of the LORD your God, walking in his ways and revering him.H8104H4687H3068H430H3212H1870H33727For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land—a land with streams and pools of water, with springs flowing in the valleys and hills;H3068H430H935H2896H776H776H5158H4325H5869H8415H3318H1237H20228a land with wheat and barley, vines and fig trees, pomegranates, olive oil and honey;H776H2406H8184H1612H8384H7416H776H8081H2132H17069a land where bread will not be scarce and you will lack nothing; a land where the rocks are iron and you can dig copper out of the hills.H776H834H398H3899H3808H4544H2637H776H68H1270H2042H2672H517810When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the LORD your God for the good land he has given you.H398H7646H1288H3068H430H2896H776H541411Be careful that you do not forget the LORD your God, failing to observe his commands, his laws and his decrees that I am giving you this day.H8104H7911H3068H430H8104H4687H4941H2708H6680H311712Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses and settle down,H398H7646H1129H2896H1004H342713and when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase and all you have is multiplied,H1241H6629H7235H3701H2091H7235H723514then your heart will become proud and you will forget the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.H3824H7311H7911H3068H430H3318H776H4714H1004H565015He led you through the vast and dreadful desert, that thirsty and waterless land, with its venomous snakes and scorpions. He brought you water out of hard rock.H3212H1419H3372H4057H8314H5175H6137H6774H4325H3318H4325H6697H249616He gave you manna to eat in the desert, something your fathers had never known, to humble and to test you so that in the end it might go well with you.H398H4057H4478H1H3045H6031H5254H3190H31917You may say to yourself, "My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me."H559H3824H3581H6108H3027H6213H242818But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your forefathers, as it is today.H2142H3068H430H5414H3581H6213H2428H6965H1285H7650H1H311719If you ever forget the LORD your God and follow other gods and worship and bow down to them, I testify against you today that you will surely be destroyed.H7911H7911H3068H430H1980H310H312H430H5647H7812H5749H3117H6H620Like the nations the LORD destroyed before you, so you will be destroyed for not obeying the LORD your God.H1471H3068H6H6440H6H6118H8085H6963H3068H430
