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.
02 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.
03 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.
04 Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither
did thy foot swell, these forty years.
05 Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that,
as a man chasteneth his son, so the Lord thy God
chasteneth thee.
06 Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of
the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to
fear him.
07 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;
08 A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and
fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive,
and honey;
09 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.
