1Every commandment that I command you today you shall keep by doing, so that you may live and multiply and go in and possess the land that the LORD swore to your fathers.2You shall remember the entire way on which the LORD your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, in order to afflict you, to test you, and to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments or not.3He afflicted you and let you hunger and fed you the manna that you had not known and that your fathers had not known, so that he might make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but that man lives by every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.4Your clothing did not wear out on you and your foot did not swell these forty years.5You shall know in your heart that, just as a man disciplines his son, the LORD your God disciplines you.6You shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God by walking in his ways and by fearing him.7For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of streams of water, of springs and abysses flowing in the valley and in the mountain.8A land of wheat and barley and vine and fig and pomegranate, a land of olive oil and honey.9A land in which you will eat bread without scarcity; you will lack nothing in it; a land whose stones are iron and from whose hills you will dig copper.10You shall eat and be satisfied and bless the LORD your God for the good land that he has given you.11Take care for yourself lest you forget the LORD your God by failing to keep his commandments and his judgments and his statutes that I command you today.12Lest, when you eat and are satisfied and build fine houses and live in them,13and your herds and flocks multiply, and silver and gold increase for you, and all that you have increases,14then your heart will be exalted and you will forget the LORD your God who brought you out from the land of Egypt, from the house of servants.15who led you in the great and terrifying wilderness with serpents and scorpions and parched ground where there was no water, who brought you water out from the rock of flint,16who fed you manna in the wilderness that your fathers had not known, in order to afflict you and in order to test you, to do you good in your end.17And you shall say in your heart, 'My strength and the strength of my hand have made this wealth for me.'18You shall remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you strength to do wealth, in order to establish his covenant that he swore to your fathers, as it is this day.19And if you forget the LORD your God and go after other gods and serve them and bow down to them, I solemnly warn you today that you shall surely perish.20Like the nations that the LORD is destroying from before you, so you shall perish, because you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD your God.
