Deuteronomy 8

1You must carefullyH8104 followH6213 everyH3605 commandmentH4687 IH595 am giving youH6680 todayH3117, so thatH4616 you may liveH2421 and multiplyH7235, and enterH935 and possessH3423 the landH776 thatH834 the LORDH3068 sworeH7650 to give your fathersH1. 2Remember thatH2142 theseH2088 fortyH705 yearsH8141 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 led youH1980 allH3605 the wayH1870 in the wildernessH4057, so thatH4616 He might humble youH6031 and test youH5254 in order to knowH3045 whatH834 was in your heartH3824, whether orH518 notH3808 you would keepH8104 His commandmentsH4687.

3He humbled youH6031, and in your hungerH7456 He gave you mannaH4478 to eatH398, whichH834 neither youH3808 norH3808 your fathersH1 had knownH3045, so thatH4616H3045 you might understandH3045 thatH3588 manH120 does notH3808 liveH2421 onH5921 breadH3899 aloneH905, butH3588 onH5921 everyH3605 word that comes fromH4161 the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068.1 4Your clothingH8071 did notH3808 wear outH1086H5921 and your feetH7272 did notH3808 swellH1216 during theseH2088 fortyH705 yearsH8141.

5So knowH3045 inH5973 your heartH3824 thatH3588 just asH834 a manH376 disciplinesH3256 his sonH1121, so the LORDH3068 your GodH430 disciplines youH3256. 6Therefore you shall keepH8104 the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430, walkingH1980 in His waysH1870 and fearingH3372 HimH853.

7ForH3588 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 is bringingH935 you intoH413 a goodH2896 landH776, a landH776 of brooksH5158H4325 and fountainsH5869 and springsH8415 that flowH3318 through the valleysH1237 and hillsH2022; 8a landH776 of wheatH2406, barleyH8184, vinesH1612, fig treesH8384, and pomegranatesH7416; a landH776 of oliveH2132 oilH8081 and honeyH1706; 9a landH776 whereH834 you will eatH398 foodH3899 withoutH3808 scarcityH4544, where you will lackH2637 nothingH3808H3605; a landH776 whose rocksH68 are ironH1270 and whose hillsH2042 are ready to be minedH2672 for copperH5178. 10When you eatH398 and are satisfiedH7646, you are to blessH1288 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 forH5921 the goodH2896 landH776 thatH834 He has givenH5414 you.

11Be carefulH8104 notH6435 to forgetH7911 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 by failingH1115 to keepH8104 His commandmentsH4687 and ordinancesH4941 and statutesH2708, whichH834 IH595 am giving youH6680 this dayH3117. 12OtherwiseH6435, when you eatH398 and are satisfiedH7646, when you buildH1129 fineH2896 housesH1004 in which to dwellH3427, 13and when your herdsH1241 and flocksH6629 grow largeH7235 and your silverH3701 and goldH2091 increaseH7235 and allH3605 thatH834 you have is multipliedH7235, 14then your heartH3824 will become proudH7311, and you will forgetH7911 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 who brought you outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, out of the houseH1004 of slaveryH5650.

15He ledH1980 you through the vastH1419 and terrifyingH3372 wildernessH4057 with its venomousH8314 snakesH5175 and scorpionsH6137, a thirstyH6774 and waterlessH369H4325 land. He broughtH3318 you waterH4325 from the rockH6697 of flintH2496. 16He fed youH398 in the wildernessH4057 with mannaH4478 thatH834 your fathersH1 had notH3808 knownH3045, in order toH4616 humble youH6031H4616 and test youH5254, so that in the endH319 He might cause you to prosperH3190.

17You might sayH559 in your heartH3824, “The powerH3581 and strengthH6108 of my handsH3027 have madeH6213 thisH2088 wealthH2428 for me.” 18But rememberH2142 that it is the LORDH3068 your GodH430H3588 who givesH5414 you the powerH3581 to gainH6213 wealthH2428, in order toH4616 confirmH6965 His covenantH1285 thatH834 He sworeH7650 to your fathersH1 even to thisH2088 dayH3117.

IfH518 you ever forgetH7911 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 and goH1980 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430 to worshipH5647 and bow downH7812 to them, I testifyH5749 against you todayH3117 thatH3588 you will surely perishH6. 20Like the nationsH1471 thatH834 the LORDH3068 has destroyedH6 before youH6440, soH3651 you will perishH6H6118 if you do notH3808 obeyH8085H6963 the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
