Deuteronomy 8:1-11 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

1. All the commandments which I command you this day shall you observe to do, that you may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD swore unto your fathers.

2. And you shall remember all the way which the LORD your God led you these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you, and to test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments, or not.

4. Your clothing grew not old upon you, neither did your foot swell, these forty years.

5. You shall also consider in your heart, that, as a man chastens his son, so the LORD your God chastens you.

6. Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.

7. For the LORD your God brings you 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 olive oil, and honey;

9. A land in which you shall eat bread without scarceness, you shall not lack anything in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you may dig copper.

10. When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the LORD your God for the good land which he has given you.

11. Beware that you forget not the LORD your God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command you this day:
