Remember the LORD Your God
(1) "All the commandments which I command you this day YOU shall observe and do, that YOU may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD swore to YOUR fathers.
(2) You shall remember all the ways which the LORD your God led you these 40 years in the wilderness, to humble you, and to prove you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments, or not.
(3) And he humbled you, and allowed you to be hungry, and fed you with manna, which you did not know, neither did your fathers know, that he might make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the LORD.
(4) Your clothing did not wear out on you, neither did your foot swell, these 40 years.
Keep God' Commandments
(5) You shall also know in your heart, that, as a man chastens his son, so the LORD your God chastens you.
(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 brings you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and bursts of water that spring out of valleys and hills;
(8) A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of olive oil, 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 brass.
(10) When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the LORD your God for the good land which he has given you.
Do Not Forget God
(11) Beware that you do not forget the LORD your God, by not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command you this day,
(12) lest when you have eaten and are full, and have built beautiful houses, and dwelt 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 will be lifted up, and you will forget the LORD your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage,
(15) who led you through that great and terrible wilderness, where there were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought you water out of the rock of flint;
(16) Who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers did not know, so that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end;
Do Not Be Prideful
(17) Beware lest you say in your heart, 'My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth.'
(18) But you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is he that gives you power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swore to your fathers, as it is this day.
(19) It shall be, if you shall forget the LORD your God at all, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against YOU this day that YOU shall surely perish.
(20) As the nations which the LORD destroys before YOUR face, so shall YOU perish, because YOU would not be obedient to the voice of the LORD YOUR God.
