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 .
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.
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.
4
Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell , these forty years.
5
Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son , so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.
6
Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God , to walk in his ways , and to fear him.
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
A land of wheat , and barley , and vines, and fig trees , and pomegranates ; a land of oil olive , and honey ;
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 .
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.
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 :
12
Lest when thou hast eaten and art full , and hast built goodly houses , and dwelt therein;
13
And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply , and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;
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;
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 ;
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;
17
And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth .
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 .
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.
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 .
