Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Deuteronomy 8
⁴ Your clothing did not wear out on you, nor did your foot swell these forty years.
⁵ Thus you are to know in your heart that the Lord your God was disciplining you just as a man disciplines his son.
⁶ Therefore, you shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God, to walk in His ways and to fear Him.
⁷ For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, flowing forth in valleys and hills;
⁸ a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey;
⁹ a land where you will eat food without scarcity, in which you will not lack anything; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you can dig copper.
¹⁰ When you have eaten and are satisfied, you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land which He has given you.
¹¹ "Beware that you do not forget the Lord your God by not keeping His commandments and His ordinances and His statutes which I am commanding you today;
¹² otherwise, when you have eaten and are satisfied, and have built good houses and lived in them,
¹³ and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and gold multiply, and all that you have multiplies,
¹⁴ then your heart will become proud and you will forget the Lord your God who brought you out from the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
