Deuteronomy 8:5-16 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

5. And thou shalt consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the Lord thy God chasteneth thee.

6. And thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.

7. For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths, springing forth in valleys and hills;

8. a land of wheat and barley, and vines and fig trees and pomegranates; a land of oil olives 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. And thou shalt eat and be full, and thou shalt bless the Lord thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.

11. Beware lest thou forget 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, out of the house of bondage;

15. who led thee through the great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents and scorpions, and thirsty ground where 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:
