05:008:004 Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot
swell, these forty years.
05:008:005 Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man
chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.
05:008:006 Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy
God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
05:008:007 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;
05:008:008 A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and
pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;
05:008:009 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.
05:008:010 When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the
LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.
05:008:011 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:
05:008:012 Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built
goodly houses, and dwelt therein;
05:008:013 And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver
and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;
05:008:014 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;
05:008:015 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;
05:008:016 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;
05:008:017 And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine
hand hath gotten me this wealth.
05:008:018 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.
05:008:019 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.
05:008:020 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.
05:009:001 Hear, O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go
in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great
and fenced up to heaven,
05:009:002 A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom
thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the
children of Anak!
