Deuteronomy 8

1All the commandmentH4687 which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117 shall ye observeH8104 to do, that ye may liveH2421, and multiplyH7235, and goH935 in and possessH3423 the landH776 which Jehovah sware unto your fathersH1. 2And thou shalt rememberH2142 all the wayH1870 which Jehovah thy GodH430 hath led thee these fortyH705 yearsH8141 in the wildernessH4057, that he might humble thee, to prove thee, to knowH3045 what was in thy heartH3824, whether thou wouldest keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687, or not. 3And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hungerH7456, and fed thee with mannaH4478, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathersH1 knowH3045; that he might makeH3045 thee knowH3045 that manH120 doth not liveH2421 by breadH3899 onlyH905, but by everythingH3605 that proceedeth out of the mouthH6310 of Jehovah doth manH120 liveH2421. 4Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy footH7272 swell, these fortyH705 yearsH8141. 5And thou shalt consider in thy heartH3824, that, as a manH376 chasteneth his sonH1121, so Jehovah thy GodH430 chasteneth thee. 6And thou shalt keepH8104 the commandmentsH4687 of Jehovah thy GodH430, to walk in his waysH1870, and to fearH3372 him. 7For Jehovah thy GodH430 bringeth thee into a goodH2896 landH776, a landH776 of brooks of waterH4325, of fountains and springs, flowing forthH3318 in valleysH1237 and hillsH2022; 8a landH776 of wheatH2406 and barleyH8184, and vinesH1612 and fig-trees and pomegranatesH7416; a landH776 of olive-trees and honeyH1706; 9a landH776 wherein thou shalt eatH398 breadH3899 without scarceness, thou shalt not lackH2637 anything in it; a landH776 whose stonesH68 are ironH1270, and out of whose hillsH2042 thou mayest digH2672 copperH5178. 10And thou shalt eatH398 and be full, and thou shalt blessH1288 Jehovah thy GodH430 for the goodH2896 landH776 which he hath givenH5414 thee.

11Beware lestH6435 thou forgetH7911 Jehovah thy GodH430, in not keepingH8104 his commandmentsH4687, and his ordinancesH4941, and his statutesH2708, which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117: 12lestH6435, when thou hast eatenH398 and art full, and hast builtH1129 goodly housesH1004, and dweltH3427 therein; 13and whenH834 thy herdsH1241 and thy flocksH6629 multiplyH7235, and thy silverH3701 and thy goldH2091 is multipliedH7235, and all that thou hast is multipliedH7235; 14then thy heartH3824 be liftedH7311 up, and thou forgetH7911 Jehovah thy GodH430, who broughtH3318 thee forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, out of the houseH1004 of bondage; 15who led thee through the greatH1419 and terrible wildernessH4057, wherein were fiery serpents and scorpionsH6137, and thirstyH6774 groundH6774 whereH834 was no waterH4325; who broughtH3318 thee forthH3318 waterH4325 out of the rockH6697 of flintH2496; 16who fed thee in the wildernessH4057 with mannaH4478, which thy fathersH1 knewH3045 not; that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee goodH3190 at thy latterH319 endH319: 17and lest thou sayH559 in thy heartH3824, My power and the might of my handH3027 hath gotten me this wealthH2428. 18But thou shalt rememberH2142 Jehovah thy GodH430, for it is he that giveth thee powerH3581 to get wealthH2428; that he may establishH6965 his covenantH1285 which he sware unto thy fathersH1, as at this dayH3117. 19And it shall beH1961, if thou shalt forgetH7911 Jehovah thy GodH430, and walkH1980 after otherH312 godsH430, and serveH5647 them, and worship them, I testify against you this dayH3117 that ye shall surely perishH6. 20As the nationsH1471 that Jehovah maketh to perishH6 before you, soH3651 shall ye perishH6; because ye would not hearken unto the voiceH6963 of Jehovah your GodH430.
