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
.
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.
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
.
Thy raiment waxed not old
upon thee, neither did thy foot
swell
, these forty
years
.
Thou shalt also consider in
thine heart
, that, as a man
chasteneth
his son
, so the LORD
thy God
chasteneth
thee.
Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments
of the LORD
thy God
, to walk
in his ways
, and to fear
him.
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
;
A land of wheat
, and barley
, and vines
, and fig trees
, and pomegranates
; a land
of oil
olive
, and honey
;
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
.
When thou hast eaten and art full
, then thou shalt bless
the LORD
thy God
for the good
land
which he hath given
thee.
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
:
Lest when thou hast eaten and art full
, and hast built
goodly
houses
, and dwelt
therein ;
And when thy herds and thy flocks
multiply
, and thy silver
and thy gold
is multiplied
, and all that thou hast is multiplied
;
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
;
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
;
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
;
And thou say in thine heart
, My power
and the might
of mine hand
hath gotten
me this wealth
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
