Deuteronomy 8

¹Take care to keep all the orders which I give you today, so that you may have life and be increased and go in and take as a heritage the land which the Lord, by his oath to your fathers, undertook to give you.

²And keep in mind the way by which the Lord your God has taken you through the waste land these forty years, so that he might make low your pride and put you to the test, to see what was in your heart and if you would keep his orders or not.

³And he made low your pride and let you be without food and gave you manna for your food, a thing new to you, which your fathers never saw; so that he might make it clear to you that bread is not man's only need, but his life is in every word which comes out of the mouth of the Lord.

⁴Through all these forty years your clothing did not get old or your feet become tired.

⁵Keep in mind this thought, that as a son is trained by his father, so you have been trained by the Lord your God.

⁶Then keep the orders of the Lord your God, fearing him and walking in his ways.

⁷For the Lord your God is guiding you into a good land, a land of water-springs, of fountains, and deep streams flowing out from the valleys and the hills;

⁸A land of grain and vines and fig-trees and fair fruits; a land of oil-giving olive-trees and honey;

⁹Where there will be bread for you in full measure and you will be in need of nothing; a land where the very stones are iron and from whose hills you may get copper.

¹⁰And you will have food enough and be full, praising the Lord your God for the good land he has given you.
