Deuteronomy 8

1 “All the command which I am commanding you today you observe to do, so that you live, and have multiplied, and gone in, and possessed the land which YHWH has sworn to your fathers;

All the commandments which I command you this day shall you observe to do, that you may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD swore to your fathers.

2 and you have remembered all the way which your God YHWH has caused you to go these forty years in the wilderness, in order to humble you to try you, to know that which [is] in your heart, whether you keep His commands or not.

And you shall remember all the way which the LORD your God led you these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you, and to prove you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments, or no.

3 And He humbles you, and causes you to hunger, and causes you to eat the manna (which you have not known, even your fathers have not known), in order to cause you to know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by everything proceeding [from] the mouth of YHWH.

And he humbled you, and suffered you to hunger, and fed you with manna, which you knew not, neither did your fathers know; that he might make you know that man does not live by bread only, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the LORD does man live.

4 Your raiment has not worn out from off you, and your foot has not swelled these forty years,

Your raiment waxed not old on you, neither did your foot swell, these forty years.

5 and you have known with your heart that as a man disciplines his son, your God YHWH is disciplining you,

You shall also consider in your heart, that, as a man chastens his son, so the LORD your God chastens you.

6 and you have kept the commands of your God YHWH, to walk in His ways and to fear Him.

Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.

7 For your God YHWH is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of waters, of fountains, and of depths coming out in valley and in mountain;

For the LORD your God brings you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;

8 a land of wheat, and barley, and vine, and fig, and pomegranate; a land of oil olive and honey;

A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;

9 a land in which you eat bread without scarcity—you do not lack anything in it; a land whose stones [are] iron, and you dig bronze out of its mountains.

A land wherein you shall eat bread without scarceness, you shall not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you may dig brass.

10 And you have eaten and been satisfied, and have blessed your God YHWH on the good land which he has given to you.

When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the LORD your God for the good land which he has given you.

11 Take heed to yourself lest you forget your God YHWH so as not to keep His commands, and His judgments, and His statutes which I am commanding you today;

Beware that you forget not the LORD your God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command you this day:

12 lest you eat and have been satisfied, and build good houses and have inhabited [them],

Lest when you have eaten and are full, and have built goodly houses, and dwelled therein;

13 and your herd and your flock are multiplied, and silver and gold are multiplied to you, and all that is yours is multiplied,

And when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied;

14 and your heart has been high, and you have forgotten your God YHWH who is bringing you out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants;

Then your heart be lifted up, and you forget the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;

15 who is causing you to go in the great and the terrible wilderness [with] burning serpent, and scorpion, and thirst—where there is no water; who is bringing out waters to you from the flinty rock;

Who led you through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought you forth water out of the rock of flint;

16 who is causing you to eat manna in the wilderness, which your fathers have not known, in order to humble you, and in order to try you, to do you good in your latter end;

Who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers knew not, that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end;

17 and you have said in your heart, My power and the might of my hand have made this wealth for me.

And you say in your heart, My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth.

18 And you have remembered your God YHWH, for it [is] He who is giving power to you to make wealth, in order to establish His covenant which He has sworn to your fathers, as [at] this day.

But you shall remember the LORD your God: for it is he that gives you power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swore to your fathers, as it is this day.

19 And it has been, if you really forget your God YHWH, and have gone after other gods, and served them, and bowed yourself to them, I have testified against you today that you utterly perish.

And it shall be, if you do at all forget the LORD your God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish.

20 As the nations whom YHWH is destroying from your presence, so you perish, because you do not listen to the voice of your God YHWH.”

As the nations which the LORD destroys before your face, so shall you perish; because you would not be obedient to the voice of the LORD your God.
