(KJV) Deuteronomy 8¹

⥃Remember the LORD Your God

[1] All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers.² [2] And thou shalt remember³ all the way which the Lord thy God led thee⁴ these forty years in the wilderness, to humble⁵ thee, [and] to prove thee⁶, to know⁷ what [was] in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no. [3] And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee⁸ with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth⁹ not live by bread only, but by every [word] that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live. [4] Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.¹⁰¹¹ [5] Thou shalt also consider¹² in thine heart, that, as a man¹³ chasteneth his son, [so] the Lord thy God chasteneth thee. [6] Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, to walk¹⁴ in his ways, and to fear him. [7] For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;¹⁵ [8] A land of wheat¹⁶, and barley¹⁷, and vines¹⁸, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive¹⁹, and honey; [9] A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any [thing] in it; a land whose stones²⁰ [are] iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass. [10] When thou hast²¹ eaten and art full, then thou²² shalt bless the Lord thy God for the good land which he hath given thee. [11] Beware that thou forget not the Lord thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:²³ [12] Lest [when²⁴] thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built²⁵ goodly houses, and dwelt [therein]; [13] And [when] thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;²⁶ [14] Then thine heart²⁷ be lifted up, and thou forget²⁸ the Lord thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage; [15] Who led thee²⁹ through that great and terrible wilderness, [wherein were] fiery serpents³⁰, and scorpions, and drought, where [there was] no water; who brought³¹ thee forth water out of the rock of flint; [16] Who fed thee³² in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might³³ humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee³⁴ good at thy latter end; [17] And thou say³⁵ in thine heart, My power³⁶ and the might of [mine] hand hath gotten me this wealth. [18] But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for [it is] he that³⁷ giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may³⁸ establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as [it is] this day. [19] And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the Lord thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against³⁹ you this day that ye shall surely perish. [20] As the nations which the Lord destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish⁴⁰; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the Lord your God.
