Deuteronomy 8:5-15 Jubilee Bible (JUB)

5. And know in thine heart, that as a man chastens his son, so the Lord thy God chastens thee.

6. Keep, therefore, the commandments of the Lord thy God by walking in his ways and fearing him.

7. For the Lord thy God brings thee into a good land, a land of brooks, of waters, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills,

9. a land in which thou shalt eat bread without scarceness; thou shalt not lack any thing in it, a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose mountains thou may dig brass.

10. Thou shalt eat and be full and bless the Lord thy God for the good land which he has given thee.

11. Keep thyself, that thou forget not the Lord thy God, to not fulfill his commandments and his rights and his statutes, which I command thee this day,

12. lest peradventure 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, who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery,

15. who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness of burning serpents and scorpions and drought, where there was no water, who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint,
