DE-8:1  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.

DE-8:2  And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy

God led thee

these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, [and] to

prove thee, to

know what [was] in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his

commandments,

or no.

DE-8:3  And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and

fed thee with

manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know;

that he might

make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by

every [word] that

proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.

DE-8:4  Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy

foot swell, these

forty years.

DE-8:5  Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man

chasteneth his

son, [so] the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.

DE-8:6  Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD

thy God, to

walk in his ways, and to fear him.

DE-8:7  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;

DE-8:8  A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees,

and

pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;

DE-8:9  A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness,

thou shalt not

lack any [thing] in it; a land whose stones [are] iron, and out

of whose hills

thou mayest dig brass.

DE-8:10  When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt

bless the LORD thy

God for the good land which he hath given thee.

DE-8:11  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:

DE-8:12  Lest [when] thou hast eaten and art full, and hast

built goodly

houses, and dwelt [therein];

DE-8:13  And [when] thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy

silver and thy

gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;

DE-8:14  Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD

thy God,

which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the

house of bondage;

DE-8:15  Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness,

 [wherein

were] fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where [there

was] no water;

who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;

DE-8:16  Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy

fathers knew

not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to

do thee good

at thy latter end;

DE-8:17  And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of

[mine] hand

hath gotten me this wealth.

DE-8:18  But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for [it is]

he that giveth

thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant

which he sware

unto thy fathers, as [it is] this day.

DE-8:19  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

against you this

day that ye shall surely perish.

DE-8:20  As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your

face, so shall

ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of

the LORD your

God.
