Deuteronomy 8

ECB(i) 1
GUARDING THE MISVOTH Guard to work all the misvoth I misvah you this day so that you live and abound; and go in and possess the land Yah Veh oathed to your fathers: 2 and remember all the way Yah Veh your Elohim carried you these forty years in the wilderness - to humble you and to test you - to know what was in your heart, whether or not you guarded his misvoth: 3 and he humbled you and famished you and fed you with manna, which neither you knew, nor your fathers knew; to make known to you that humanity lives not by bread only: but that humanity lives by all that proceeds from the mouth of Yah Veh. 4 Neither your clothes wore out on you, nor your foot swelled these forty years. 5 And consider in your heart, as a man disciplines his son, thus Yah Veh your Elohim disciplines you. 6 Guard the misvoth of Yah Veh your Elohim, to walk in his ways and to awe him. 7 For Yah Veh your Elohim brings you into a good land - a land of wadies of water; of fountains and abysses springing from valleys and mountains; 8 a land of wheat and barley and vines and figs and pomegranates; a land of olive oil and honey; 9 a land wherein you eat bread without poverty and lack naught therein; a land whose stones are iron and from whose mountains you hew copper. 10 And when you eat and satiate, bless Yah Veh your Elohim for the good land he gives you. 11 Guard that you not forget Yah Veh your Elohim, by not guarding his misvoth and his judgments and his statutes which I misvah you this day: 12 lest when you eat and satiate and build goodly houses and settle; 13 and when your oxen and your flocks abound and your silver and your gold abound and all you have abounds; 14 and your heart lifts and you forget Yah Veh your Elohim who brought you from the land of Misrayim from the house of servants: 15 who carried you through that great and awesome wilderness of seraph serpents and scorpions and thirst - where there was no water: who brought water from the rock of flint; 16 who fed you in the wilderness with manna which your fathers knew not - to humble you and to test you - to well-please you at your latter end; 17 and you said in your heart, My force and the might of my hand worked me this valour. 18 And remember Yah Veh your Elohim: for he gives you force to work valour, in order to raise his covenant which he oathed to your fathers, as this day. 19 And so be it, if in forgetting, you forget Yah Veh your Elohim and walk after other elohim and serve them and prostrate to them, I witness against you this day that in destructing, you destruct. 20 As the goyim Yah Veh destroyed at your face, thus you destruct; because you hearken not to the voice of Yah Veh your Elohim.
