Deuteronomy 8:7-18

7For YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 bringethH935 thee into a goodH2896 landH776, a landH776 of brooksH5158 of waterH4325, of fountainsH5869 and depthsH8415 that spring outH3318 of valleysH1237 and hillsH2022;

8A landH776 of wheatH2406, and barleyH8184, and vinesH1612, and fig treesH8384, and pomegranatesH7416; a landH776 of oilH8081 oliveH2132, and honeyH1706;1

9A landH776 whereinH834 thou shalt eatH398 breadH3899 withoutH3808 scarcenessH4544, thou shalt not lackH2637 any thing in it; a landH776 whose stonesH68 are ironH1270, and out of whose hillsH2042 thou mayest digH2672 brassH5178.

10When thou hast eatenH398 and art fullH7646, then thou shalt blessH1288 YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 for the goodH2896 landH776 which he hath givenH5414 thee.

11BewareH8104 that thou forgetH7911 not YhwhH3068 thy GodH430, in not keepingH8104 his commandmentsH4687, and his judgmentsH4941, and his statutesH2708, which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117:

12Lest when thou hast eatenH398 and art fullH7646, and hast builtH1129 goodlyH2896 housesH1004, and dweltH3427 therein;

13And when thy herdsH1241 and thy flocksH6629 multiplyH7235, and thy silverH3701 and thy goldH2091 is multipliedH7235, and all that thou hast is multipliedH7235;

14Then thine heartH3824 be lifted upH7311, and thou forgetH7911 YhwhH3068 thy GodH430, which brought thee forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, from the houseH1004 of bondageH5650;

15Who ledH3212 thee through that greatH1419 and terribleH3372 wildernessH4057, wherein were fieryH8314 serpentsH5175, and scorpionsH6137, and droughtH6774, where there was no waterH4325; who brought thee forthH3318 waterH4325 out of the rockH6697 of flintH2496;

16Who fedH398 thee in the wildernessH4057 with mannaH4478, which thy fathersH1 knewH3045 not, that he might humbleH6031 thee, and that he might proveH5254 thee, to do thee goodH3190 at thy latter endH319;

17And thou sayH559 in thine heartH3824, My powerH3581 and the mightH6108 of mine handH3027 hath gottenH6213 me this wealthH2428.

18But thou shalt rememberH2142 YhwhH3068 thy GodH430: for it is he that givethH5414 thee powerH3581 to getH6213 wealthH2428, that he may establishH6965 his covenantH1285 which he swareH7650 unto thy fathersH1, as it is this dayH3117.
