Deuteronomy 8

1All the commandments, that I command thee this day, take great care to observe: that you may live, and be multiplied, and going in may possess the land, for which the Lord swore to your fathers.

1Every commandment which I command thee this day shall ye take heed to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and enter in and possess the land which Jehovah swore unto your fathers.

1`All the command which I am commanding thee to-day ye observe to do, so that ye live, and have multiplied, and gone in, and possessed the land which Jehovah hath sworn to your fathers;

2And thou shalt remember all the way through which the Lord thy God hath brought thee for forty years through the desert, to afflict thee and to prove thee, and that the things that were known in thy heart might be made known, whether thou wouldst keep his commandments or no.

2And thou shalt remember all the way which Jehovah thyGod led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thy heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments or not.

2and thou hast remembered all the way which Jehovah thy God hath caused thee to go these forty years in the wilderness, in order to humble thee to try thee, to know that which <FI>is<Fi> in thy heart, whether thou dost keep His commands or not.

3He afflicted thee with want, and gave thee manna for thy food, which neither thou nor thy fathers knew: to shew that not in bread alone doth man live, but in every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God.

3And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with the manna, which thou hadst not known, and which thy fathers knew not; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread alone, but by everything that goeth out of the mouth of Jehovah doth man live.

3`And He doth humble thee, and cause thee to hunger and doth cause thee to eat the manna (which thou hast not known, even thy fathers have not known), in order to cause thee to know that not by bread alone doth man live, but by every produce of the mouth of Jehovah man doth live.

4Thy raiment, with which thou wast covered, hath not decayed for age, and thy foot is not worn, lo this is the fortieth year,

4Thy clothing grew not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.

4`Thy raiment hath not worn out from off thee, and thy foot hath not swelled these forty years,

5That thou mayst consider in thy heart, that as a man traineth up his son, so the Lord thy God hath trained thee up.

5And know in thy heart that, as a man chasteneth his son, so Jehovah thyGod chasteneth thee;

5and thou hast known, with thy heart, that as a man chastiseth his son Jehovah thy God is chastising thee,

6That thou shouldst keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways, and fear him.

6and thou shalt keep the commandments of Jehovah thyGod, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.

6and thou hast kept the commands of Jehovah thy God, to walk in His ways, and to fear Him.

7For the Lord thy God will bring thee into a good land, of brooks and of waters, and of fountains: in the plains of which and the hills deep rivers break out:

7For Jehovah thyGod bringeth thee into a good land, a land of water-brooks, of springs, and of deep waters, that gush forth in the valleys and hills;

7`For Jehovah thy God is bringing thee in unto a good land, a land of brooks of waters, of fountains, and of depths coming out in valley and in mountain:

8A land of wheat, and barley, and vineyards, wherein fig trees and pomegranates, and oliveyards grow: a land of oil and honey.

8a land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig-trees, and pomegranates; a land of olive-trees and honey;

8a land of wheat, and barley, and vine, and fig, and pomegranate; a land of oil olive and honey;

9Where without any want thou shalt eat thy bread, and enjoy abundance of all things: where the stones are iron, and out of its hills are dug mines of brass:

9a land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, where thou shalt lack nothing; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose mountains thou wilt dig copper.

9a land in which without scarcity thou dost eat bread, thou dost not lack anything in it; a land whose stones <FI>are<Fi> iron, and out of its mountains thou dost dig brass;

10That when thou hast eaten, and art full, thou mayst bless the Lord thy God for the excellent land which he hath given thee.

10And thou shalt eat and be filled, and shalt bless Jehovah thyGod for the good land which he hath given thee.

10and thou hast eaten, and been satisfied, and hast blessed Jehovah thy God, on the good land which he hath given to thee.

11Take heed, and beware lest at any time thou forget the Lord thy God, and neglect his commandments and judgments and ceremonies, which I command thee this day:

11Beware that thou forget not Jehovah thyGod, in not keeping his commandments, and his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command thee this day;

11`Take heed to thyself, lest thou forget Jehovah thy God so as not to keep His commands, and His judgments, and His statutes which I am commanding thee to-day;

12Lest after thou hast eaten and art filled, hast built goodly houses, and dwelt in them,

12lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built and inhabited fine houses,

12lest thou eat, and hast been satisfied, and good houses dost build, and hast inhabited;

13And shalt have herds of oxen and flocks of sheep, and plenty of gold and of silver, and of all things,

13and thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied,

13and thy herd and thy flock be multiplied, and silver and gold be multiplied to thee; and all that is thine be multiplied:

14Thy heart be lifted up, and thou remember not the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage:

14then thy heart be lifted up, and thou forget Jehovah thyGod, who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage;

14`And thy heart hath been high, and thou hast forgotten Jehovah thy God (who is bringing thee out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants;

15And was thy leader in the great and terrible wilderness, wherein there was the serpent burning with his breath, and the scorpion and the dipsas, and no waters at all: who brought forth streams out of the hardest rock,

15who led thee through the great and terrible wilderness, [a wilderness of] fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there is no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;

15who is causing thee to go in the great and the terrible wilderness--burning serpent, and scorpion, and thirst--where there is no water; who is bringing out to thee waters from the flinty rock;

16And fed thee in the wilderness with manna which thy fathers knew not. And after he had afflicted and proved thee, at the last he had mercy on thee,

16who 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;

16who is causing thee to eat manna in the wilderness, which thy fathers have not known, in order to humble thee, and in order to try thee, to do thee good in thy latter end),

17Lest thou shouldst say in thy heart: My own might, and the strength of my own hand have achieved all these things for me.

17— and thou say in thy heart, My power and the might of my hand has procured me this wealth.

17and thou hast said in thy heart, My power, and the might of my hand, hath made for me this wealth:

18But remember the Lord thy God, that he hath given thee strength, that he might fulfil his covenant, concerning which he swore to thy fathers, as this present day sheweth.

18But thou shalt remember Jehovah thyGod, that it is he who giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swore unto thy fathers, as it is this day.

18`And thou hast remembered Jehovah thy God, for He it <FI>is<Fi> who is giving to thee power to make wealth, in order to establish His covenant which He hath sworn to thy fathers as <FI>at<Fi> this day.

19But if thou forget the Lord thy God, and follow strange gods, and serve and adore them: behold now I foretell thee that thou shalt utterly perish.

19And it shall be, if thou do at all forget Jehovah thyGod, and go after othergods, and serve them, and bow down to them, I testify against you this day that ye shall utterly perish.

19`And it hath been--if thou really forget Jehovah thy God, and hast gone after other gods, and served them, and bowed thyself to them, I have testified against you to-day that ye do utterly perish;

20As the nations, which the Lord destroyed at thy entrance, so shall you also perish, if you be disobedient to the voice of the Lord your God.

20As the nations which Jehovah is causing to perish before you, so shall ye perish; because ye would not hearken unto the voice of Jehovah yourGod.

20as the nations whom Jehovah is destroying from your presence, so ye perish; because ye hearken not to the voice of Jehovah your God.
