Deuteronomy 8 (WEBP)

[1] You shall observe to do all the commandments which I command you today, that you may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers.
[2] You shall remember all the way which Yahweh your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, to test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments or not.
[3] He humbled you, allowed you to be hungry, and fed you with manna, which you didn’t know, neither did your fathers know, that he might teach you that man does not live by bread only, but man lives by every word that proceeds out of Yahweh’s mouth.
[4] Your clothing didn’t grow old on you, neither did your foot swell, these forty years.
[5] You shall consider in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so Yahweh your God disciplines you.
[6] You shall keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
[7] For Yahweh your God brings you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of springs, and underground water flowing into valleys and hills;
[8] a land of wheat, barley, vines, fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of olive trees and honey;
[9] a land in which you shall eat bread without scarcity, you shall not lack anything in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you may dig copper.
[10] You shall eat and be full, and you shall bless Yahweh your God for the good land which he has given you.
[11] Beware lest you forget Yahweh your God, in not keeping his commandments, his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command you today;
[12] lest, when you have eaten and are full, and have built fine houses and lived in them;
[13] and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied;
[14] then your heart might be lifted up, and you forget Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage;
[15] who led you through the great and terrible wilderness, with venomous snakes and scorpions, and thirsty ground where there was no water; who poured water for you out of the rock of flint;
[16] who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers didn’t know, that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end;
[17] and lest you say in your heart, “My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth.”
[18] But you shall remember Yahweh your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swore to your fathers, as it is today.
[19] It shall be, if you shall forget Yahweh your God, and walk after other gods, and serve them and worship them, I testify against you today that you shall surely perish.
[20] As the nations that Yahweh makes to perish before you, so you shall perish, because you wouldn’t listen to Yahweh your God’s voice.

Young’s Literal Translation

Deuteronomy 8 (YLT)

[1] ‘All the command which I am commanding thee to-day ye observe to do, so that ye live, and have multiplied, and gone in, and possessed the land which Jehovah hath sworn to your fathers;
[2] and thou hast remembered all the way which Jehovah thy God hath caused thee to go these forty years in the wilderness, in order to humble thee to try thee, to know that which is in thy heart, whether thou dost keep His commands or not.
[3] ‘And He doth humble thee, and cause thee to hunger and doth cause thee to eat the manna (which thou hast not known, even thy fathers have not known), in order to cause thee to know that not by bread alone doth man live, but by every produce of the mouth of Jehovah man doth live.
[4] ‘Thy raiment hath not worn out from off thee, and thy foot hath not swelled these forty years,
[5] and thou hast known, with thy heart, that as a man chastiseth his son Jehovah thy God is chastising thee,
[6] and thou hast kept the commands of Jehovah thy God, to walk in His ways, and to fear Him.
[7] ‘For Jehovah thy God is bringing thee in unto a good land, a land of brooks of waters, of fountains, and of depths coming out in valley and in mountain:
[8] a land of wheat, and barley, and vine, and fig, and pomegranate; a land of oil olive and honey;
[9] a land in which without scarcity thou dost eat bread, thou dost not lack anything in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of its mountains thou dost dig brass;
[10] and thou hast eaten, and been satisfied, and hast blessed Jehovah thy God, on the good land which he hath given to thee.
[11] ‘Take heed to thyself, lest thou forget Jehovah thy God so as not to keep His commands, and His judgments, and His statutes which I am commanding thee to-day;
[12] lest thou eat, and hast been satisfied, and good houses dost build, and hast inhabited;
[13] and thy herd and thy flock be multiplied, and silver and gold be multiplied to thee; and all that is thine be multiplied:
[14] ‘And thy heart hath been high, and thou hast forgotten Jehovah thy God (who is bringing thee out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants;
[15] who is causing thee to go in the great and the terrible wilderness-burning serpent, and scorpion, and thirst-where there is no water; who is bringing out to thee waters from the flinty rock;
[16] who is causing thee to eat manna in the wilderness, which thy fathers have not known, in order to humble thee, and in order to try thee, to do thee good in thy latter end),
[17] and thou hast said in thy heart, My power, and the might of my hand, hath made for me this wealth:
[18] ‘And thou hast remembered Jehovah thy God, for He it is who is giving to thee power to make wealth, in order to establish His covenant which He hath sworn to thy fathers as at this day.
[19] ‘And it hath been-if thou really forget Jehovah thy God, and hast gone after other gods, and served them, and bowed thyself to them, I have testified against you to-day that ye do utterly perish;
[20] as the nations whom Jehovah is destroying from your presence, so ye perish; because ye hearken not to the voice of Jehovah your God.
