Deuteronomy 8 📜 📕 ↷
Remember the LORD Your God
1 EVERY commandment, that I command thee this day, take diligent heed that thou do it: that you may live, and be multiplied, and entering in may possess the Land, for the which our Lord sware to your fathers.📜💬📚
2 And thou shalt remember all the journey, through the which the Lord thy God hath brought thee forty years by the desert, that he might afflict & prove thee, & that the things that were in thy heart might be made known, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments or not.📜💬📚
3 He afflicted thee with penury, and gave thee for meat Manna, which thou knewest not nor thy fathers: for to shew unto thee that not in bread only a man live, but in every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God.📜💬📚
4 Thy raiment, wherewith thou wast covered hath not decayed for age, and thy foot is not worn, lo this is the fortieth year.📜💬📚
5 That thou mayest recount in thy heart, that as a man disciplineth his son, so the Lord thy God hath disciplined thee,📜💬📚
6 that thou shouldst keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways, and fear him.📜💬📚
7 For the Lord thy God will bring thee in unto a good land, a land of rivers and waters and of fountains: in the plains whereof and mountains deep floods gush out:📜💬📚
8 a land of wheat, of barley, and vineyards, wherein fig trees and pomegranates, and oliveyards do grow: a land of oil and honey.📜💬📚
9 Where without any penury thou shalt eat thy bread, and enjoy abundance of all things: whose stones are iron, and out of the mountains thereof are digged metals of brass:📜💬📚
10 that when thou hast eaten, and art full, thou mayest bless the Lord thy God for the excellent land, which he hath given thee.📜💬📚
11 Observe, 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:📜💬📚
12 lest after thou hast eaten and art filled, hast built goodly houses, and dwelled in them,📜💬📚
13 and shalt have herds of oxen and flocks of sheep, of gold and silver, and of all things plenty,📜💬📚
14 thy heart be lifted up, and thou remember not the Lord thy God, that brought thee out of the Land of AEgypt, out of the house of servitude:📜💬📚
15 and was thy conductor in the huge and terrible wilderness, wherein was the serpent burning with his breath, and the scorpion and the dipsas, and no waters at all: who brought forth rivers out of the hardest rock,📜💬📚
16 and fed thee with Manna in the wilderness, which thy fathers knew not. And after he had afflicted and proved thee, at the last he had mercy upon thee,📜💬📚
17 lest thou shouldst say in thy heart: Mine own force, & the strength of mine own hand, have achieved all these things for me.📜💬📚
18 But remember the Lord thy God, that he hath given thee strength, that he might fulfill his covenant, concerning which he sware to thy fathers, as this present day sheweth.📜💬📚
19 But if forgetting the Lord thy God, thou shalt follow strange gods, and shalt serve and adore them: behold now I foretell thee that thou shalt perish utterly.📜💬📚
20 As the Nations, which our Lord destroyed at thine entry, so shall you also perish, if you be disobedient to the voice of the Lord your God.📜💬📚
