Deuteronomy 8
โ Deuteronomy 07 | Deuteronomy | Deuteronomy 09 โ
v1
You shall observe to do all the commandments which I command you today, that you may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers.
v2
You shall remember all the way which Yahweh your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, to test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments or not.
v3
He humbled you, allowed you to be hungry, and fed you with manna, which you didnโt know, neither did your fathers know, that he might teach you that man does not live by bread only, but man lives by every word that proceeds out of Yahwehโs mouth.
v4
Your clothing didnโt grow old on you, neither did your foot swell, these forty years.
v5
You shall consider in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so Yahweh your God disciplines you.
v6
You shall keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
v7
For Yahweh your God brings you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of springs, and underground water flowing into valleys and hills;
v8
a land of wheat, barley, vines, fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of olive trees and honey;
v9
a land in which you shall eat bread without scarcity, you shall not lack anything in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you may dig copper.
v10
You shall eat and be full, and you shall bless Yahweh your God for the good land which he has given you.
v11
Beware lest you forget Yahweh your God, in not keeping his commandments, his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command you today;
v12
lest, when you have eaten and are full, and have built fine houses and lived in them;
v13
and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied;
v14
then your heart might be lifted up, and you forget Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage;
v15
who led you through the great and terrible wilderness, with venomous snakes and scorpions, and thirsty ground where there was no water; who poured water for you out of the rock of flint;
v16
who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers didnโt know, that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end;
v17
and lest you say in your heart, โMy power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth.โ
v18
But you shall remember Yahweh 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 it is today.
v19
It shall be, if you shall forget Yahweh your God, and walk after other gods, and serve them and worship them, I testify against you today that you shall surely perish.
v20
As the nations that Yahweh makes to perish before you, so you shall perish, because you wouldnโt listen to Yahweh your Godโs voice.
