8This entire commandment that I command you today you must diligently observe, so that you may live and increase, and go in and occupy the land that the LORD promised on oath to your ancestors.H4687H6680H3117H8104H6213H2421H7235H935H3423H776H3068H7650H1 2Remember the long way that the LORD your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, in order to humble you, testing you to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commandments.H2142H1870H3068H430H3212H705H8141H4057H6031H5254H3045H3824H8104H4687 3He humbled you by letting you hunger, then by feeding you with manna, with which neither you nor your ancestors were acquainted, in order to make you understand that one does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.H6031H7456H398H4478H3045H1H3045H3045H120H2421H3899H905H4161H6310H3068H120H2421 4The clothes on your back did not wear out and your feet did not swell these forty years.H8071H1086H7272H1216H705H8141 5Know then in your heart that as a parent disciplines a child so the LORD your God disciplines you.H3045H5973H3824H376H3256H1121H3068H430H3256 6Therefore keep the commandments of the LORD your God, by walking in his ways and by fearing him.H8104H4687H3068H430H3212H1870H3372 7For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land, a land with flowing streams, with springs and underground waters welling up in valleys and hills,H3068H430H935H2896H776H776H5158H4325H5869H8415H3318H1237H2022 8a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive trees and honey,H776H2406H8184H1612H8384H7416H776H8081H2132H1706 9a land where you may eat bread without scarcity, where you will lack nothing, a land whose stones are iron and from whose hills you may mine copper.H776H834H398H3899H3808H4544H2637H776H68H1270H2042H2672H5178 10You shall eat your fill and bless the LORD your God for the good land that he has given you.H398H7646H1288H3068H430H2896H776H5414 11Take care that you do not forget the LORD your God, by failing to keep his commandments, his ordinances, and his statutes, which I am commanding you today.H8104H7911H3068H430H8104H4687H4941H2708H6680H3117 12When you have eaten your fill and have built fine houses and live in them,H398H7646H1129H2896H1004H3427 13and when your herds and flocks have multiplied, and your silver and gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied,H1241H6629H7235H3701H2091H7235H7235 14then do not exalt yourself, forgetting the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery,H3824H7311H7911H3068H430H3318H776H4714H1004H5650 15who led you through the great and terrible wilderness, an arid wasteland with poisonous snakes and scorpions. He made water flow for you from flint rock,H3212H1419H3372H4057H8314H5175H6137H6774H4325H3318H4325H6697H2496 16and fed you in the wilderness with manna that your ancestors did not know, to humble you and to test you, and in the end to do you good.H398H4057H4478H1H3045H6031H5254H3190H319 17Do not say to yourself, "My power and the might of my own hand have gotten me this wealth."H559H3824H3581H6108H3027H6213H2428 18But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth, so that he may confirm his covenant that he swore to your ancestors, as he is doing today.H2142H3068H430H5414H3581H6213H2428H6965H1285H7650H1H3117 19If you do forget the LORD your God and follow other gods to serve and worship them, I solemnly warn you today that you shall surely perish.H7911H7911H3068H430H1980H310H312H430H5647H7812H5749H3117H6H6 20Like the nations that the LORD is destroying before you, so shall you perish, because you would not obey the voice of the LORD your God.H1471H3068H6H6440H6H6118H8085H6963H3068H430
