Darby Bible

1Every commandmentH4687 which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117 shall ye takeH3423 heedH8104 to do, that ye may liveH2421, and multiplyH7235, and enter in and possessH3423 the landH776 which Jehovah sworeH7650 unto your fathersH1. 2And thou shalt rememberH2142 all the wayH1870 which Jehovah thy 1GodH430 led thee these fortyH705 yearsH8141 in the wildernessH4057, to humble thee, and 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 the mannaH4478, which thou hadst not knownH3045, and which thy fathersH1 knewH3045 not; that he might makeH3045 thee knowH3045 that manH120 doth not liveH2421 by breadH3899 aloneH905, but by everythingH3605 that goeth out of the mouthH6310 of Jehovah doth manH120 liveH2421. 4Thy clothingH8071 grew not old upon thee, neither did thy footH7272 swell, these fortyH705 yearsH8141. 5And knowH3045 in thy heartH3824 that, as a manH376 chasteneth his sonH1121, so Jehovah thy 2GodH430 chasteneth thee; 6and thou shalt keepH8104 the commandmentsH4687 of Jehovah thy 3GodH430, to walk in his waysH1870, and to fearH3372 him. 7For Jehovah thy 4GodH430 bringeth thee into a goodH2896 landH776, a landH776 of water-brooks, of springs, and of deepH8415 watersH4325, that gush forthH3318 in the 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, whereH834 thou shalt lackH2637 nothing; a landH776 whose stonesH68 are ironH1270, and out of whose mountainsH2042 thou wilt digH2672 copperH5178. 10And thou shalt eatH398 and be filled, and shalt blessH1288 Jehovah thy 5GodH430 for the goodH2896 landH776 which he hath givenH5414 thee. 11Beware that thou forgetH7911 not Jehovah thy 6GodH430, 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 and inhabitedH3427 fine housesH1004, 13and 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 7GodH430, 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, [a wildernessH4057 of] fiery serpents, and scorpionsH6137, and drought, whereH834 there is 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; 17— and thou sayH559 in thy heartH3824, My power and the might of my handH3027 has procured me this wealthH2428. 18But thou shalt rememberH2142 Jehovah thy 8GodH430, that it is he who giveth thee powerH3581 to get wealthH2428, that he may establishH6965 his covenantH1285 which he sworeH7650 unto thy fathersH1, as it is this dayH3117. 19And it shall beH1961, if thou do at all forgetH7911 Jehovah thy 9GodH430, and goH1980 after otherH312 10godsH430, and serveH5647 them, and bowH7812 downH7812 to them, I testify against you this dayH3117 that ye shall utterly perishH6. 20As the nationsH1471 which Jehovah is causing to perishH6 before you, soH3651 shall ye perishH6; because ye would not hearken unto the voiceH6963 of Jehovah your 11GodH430.
