< Deuteronomy 8 >

1 You shall observe to do all the commandment which I command you this day, that you may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which YHWH swore to your fathers.
Ye shall keepe all the commandements which I command thee this day, for to doe them: that ye may liue, and be multiplied, and goe in, and possesse the land which the Lord sware vnto your fathers.
2 You shall remember all the way which YHWH your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, to prove you, and to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments, or not.
And thou shalt remember all ye way which the Lord thy God led thee this fourtie yeere in the wildernesse, for to humble thee and to proue thee, to knowe what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keepe his commandements or no.
3 He humbled you, and allowed you to be hungry, and fed you with manna, which you did not know, neither did your fathers know; that he might make you know that humankind cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God shall humankind live.
Therefore he humbled thee, and made thee hungry, and fed thee with MAN, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know it, that he might teache thee that man liueth not by bread onely, but by euery worde that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord, doth a man liue.
4 Your clothing did not grow old on you, neither did your foot swell, these forty years.
Thy raiment waxed not olde vpon thee, neither did thy foote swell those fourtie yeeres.
5 You shall consider in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so YHWH your God chastens you.
Knowe therefore in thine heart, that as a man nourtereth his sonne, so the Lord thy God nourtereth thee.
6 You shall keep the commandments of YHWH your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
Therefore shalt thou keepe the commandements of the Lord thy God, that thou mayest walke in his wayes, and feare him.
7 For YHWH your God brings you into a good and spacious land, a land of brooks of water, of springs, and underground water flowing into valleys and hills;
For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land in the which are riuers of water and fountaines, and depthes that spring out of valleis and mountaines:
8 a land of wheat and barley, and vines and fig trees and pomegranates; a land of olive trees and honey;
A land of wheate and barley, and of vineyards, and figtrees, and pomegranates: a land of oyle oliue and hony:
9 a land in which you shall eat bread without scarcity, and in which you will lack nothing; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you may dig copper.
A land wherein thou shalt eate bread without scarcitie, neither shalt thou lacke any thing therein: a land whose stones are yron, and out of whose mountaines thou shalt digge brasse.
10 You shall eat and be full, and you shall bless YHWH your God for the good land which he has given you.
And when thou hast eaten and filled thy selfe, thou shalt blesse the Lord thy God for the good land, which he hath giuen thee.
11 Beware lest you forget YHWH your God, in not keeping his commandments, and his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command you this day:
Beware that thou forget not the Lord thy God, not keeping his commandements, and his lawes, and his ordinances, which I commaund thee this day:
12 lest, when you have eaten and are full, and have built goodly houses, and lived in them;
Lest when thou hast eaten and filled thy selfe, and hast built goodly houses and dwelt therein,
13 and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied;
And thy beastes, and thy sheepe are increased, and thy siluer and golde is multiplied, and all that thou hast is increased,
14 then your heart be lifted up, and you forget YHWH your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage;
Then thine heart be lifted vp and thou forget the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage,
15 who led you through the great and terrible wilderness, with fiery serpents and scorpions, and thirsty ground where there was no water; who brought you forth water out of the rock of flint;
Who was thy guide in the great and terrible wildernes (wherein were fierie serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where was no water, who brought forth water for thee out of ye rock of flint:
16 who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers did not know; that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end:
Who fed thee in the wildernesse with MAN, which thy fathers knewe not) to humble thee, and and to proue thee, that he might doe thee good at thy latter ende.
17 and lest you say in your heart, "My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth."
Beware least thou say in thine heart, My power, and the strength of mine owne hand hath prepared me this abundance.
18 But you shall remember YHWH your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth; that he may establish his covenant which he swore to your fathers, as at this day.
But remember the Lord thy God: for it is he which giueth thee power to get substance to establish his couenant which he sware vnto thy fathers, as appeareth this day.
19 It shall be, if you shall forget YHWH your God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish.
And if thou forget the Lord thy God, and walke after other gods, and serue them, and worship them, I testifie vnto you this day that ye shall surely perish.
20 As the nations that YHWH makes to perish before you, so you shall perish; because you wouldn't listen to the voice of YHWH your God.
As the nations which the Lord destroyeth before you, so ye shall perish, because ye woulde not be obedient vnto the voyce of the Lord your God.
