Deuteronomy 8:7-20

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.

19

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.
