Deuteronomy 8:3-16

Deuteronomy 8:3-16

[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 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  [6] Therefore thou shalt keep  the commandments  thy God,  in his ways,  and to fear  [7] For the LORD  thy God  bringeth  thee into a good  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  [13] And when thy herds  and thy flocks  multiply,  and thy silver  and thy gold  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] 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;
