[1]Allthe 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]Andthou 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]Andhe 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]Thyraiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy feet swell, these forty years.
[5]Thoushalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, [so] the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.
[6]Thereforethou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
[7]Forthe LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good and wide land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains, depths that spring out of valleys and hills;
[8]Aland of wheat, and barley, vines, fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;
[9]Aland 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]Whenthou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.
[11]Bewarethat 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]Thenthine 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]Wholed thee through that great and terrible wilderness, [wherein were] fiery serpents, scorpions, and drought, where [there was] no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;
[16]Whofed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, and that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;
[17]Andthou say in thine heart, My power and the might of [mine] hand hath gotten me this wealth.
[18]Butthou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for [it is] he that giveth thee power to get wealth, and that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, Ischak, and Jacob, as [it is] this day.
[19]Andit 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]Asthe 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.
