Deuteronomy 8

Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB

1 Take care to do all the commandments which I command thee this day that ye may live and be multiplied and enter in and inherit the land which the LORD swore unto your fathers.

2 And thou shalt remember all the way by which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness to afflict thee <em>and</em> to prove thee to know what <em>was</em> in thine heart, whether thou would keep his commandments, or not.

3 And he afflicted thee and caused thee to hunger and sustained thee with manna, <em>food of</em> which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know, that he might make thee know that man does not live by bread alone, but by every <em>word</em> that proceeds out of the mouth of the LORD shall man live.

4 Thy raiment never waxed old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.

5 And know in thine heart, that as a man chastens his son, so the LORD thy God chastens thee.

6 Keep, therefore, the commandments of the LORD thy God <em>by</em> walking in his ways and fearing him.

7 For the LORD thy God brings thee into a good land, a land of brooks, of waters, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills,

8 a land of wheat and barley and vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olives, of oil, and honey;

9 a land in which thou shalt eat bread without scarceness; thou shalt not lack any <em>thing</em> in it, a land whose stones <em>are</em> iron, and out of whose mountains thou may dig brass.

10 Thou shalt eat and be full and bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he has given thee.

11 Keep thyself, that thou forget not the LORD thy God, to not fulfill his commandments and his rights and his statutes, which I command thee this day,

12 lest peradventure <em>when</em> thou hast eaten and art full and hast built goodly houses and dwelt <em>therein</em>,

13 and <em>when</em> thy herds and thy flocks multiply and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied and all that thou hast is multiplied,

14 then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery,

15 who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness of burning serpents and scorpions and drought, where <em>there was</em> no water, who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint,

16 who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, <em>a food</em> which thy fathers knew not, afflicting thee and proving thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;

17 and thou say in thy heart, My power and the might of <em>my</em> hand has gotten me this wealth.

18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God, for <em>it is</em> he that gives thee the power to get wealth that he may confirm his covenant which he swore unto thy fathers, as <em>it is</em> this day.

19 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 protest against you this day that ye shall surely perish.

20 As the Gentiles which the LORD shall destroy before your face, so shall ye perish because ye would not attend to the voice of the LORD your God.

New International Version NIV

1 Be careful to follow every command I am giving you today, so that you may live and increase and may enter and possess the land the LORD promised on oath to your ancestors.

2 Remember how the LORD your God led you all the way in the wilderness these forty years, to humble and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands.

3 He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your ancestors had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.

4 Your clothes did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years.

5 Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the LORD your God disciplines you.

6 Observe the commands of the LORD your God, walking in obedience to him and revering him.

7 For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land—a land with brooks, streams, and deep springs gushing out into the valleys and hills;

8 a land with wheat and barley, vines and fig trees, pomegranates, olive oil and honey;

9 a land where bread will not be scarce and you will lack nothing; a land where the rocks are iron and you can dig copper out of the hills.

10 When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the LORD your God for the good land he has given you.

11 Be careful that you do not forget the LORD your God, failing to observe his commands, his laws and his decrees that I am giving you this day.

12 Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses and settle down,

13 and when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase and all you have is multiplied,

14 then your heart will become proud and you will forget the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

15 He led you through the vast and dreadful wilderness, that thirsty and waterless land, with its venomous snakes and scorpions. He brought you water out of hard rock.

16 He gave you manna to eat in the wilderness, something your ancestors had never known, to humble and test you so that in the end it might go well with you.

17 You may say to yourself, “My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me.”

18 But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today.

19 If you ever forget the LORD your God and follow other gods and worship and bow down to them, I testify against you today that you will surely be destroyed.

20 Like the nations the LORD destroyed before you, so you will be destroyed for not obeying the LORD your God.
