{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. {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. {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. {8:4} Thy raiment waxed not old
upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.
{8:5} Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man
chasteneth his son, [so] the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.
{8:6} Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the
LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him. {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; {8:8} A land of wheat, and barley,
and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil
olive, and honey; {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. {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. {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: {8:12} Lest [when] thou hast eaten and art full,
and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt [therein; ]{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; {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; {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; {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; {8:17} And thou say in thine heart, My power
and the might of [mine] hand hath gotten me this wealth.
{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. {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. {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.
