Thy raiment waxed not old upon
thee, neither did thy feet swell this forty years. Understand
therefore in thine heart, that as a man nurtureth his son, even so
the LORD thy God nurtureth thee. Keep therefore the commandments
of the LORD thy God that thou walk in his ways and that thou fear
him. For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land
of rivers of water, of fountains and of springs that spring out
both in valleys and hills: a land of wheat and of barley, of
vines, fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive trees with oil
and of honey: a land wherein thou shalt not eat bread in
scarceness, and where thou shalt lack nothing, a land whose stones
are iron, and out of whose hills thou shalt dig brass. When thou
hast eaten therefore and filled thyself, then bless the LORD for
the good land which he hath given thee. But beware that thou
forget not the LORD thy God, that thou wouldest not keep his
commandments, laws and ordinances which I command thee this day:
yea and when thou hast eaten and filled thyself and hast built
goodly houses and dwelt therein, and when thy beasts and thy sheep
are waxed many and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied and all
that thou hast increased, then beware lest thine heart rise and
thou forget the LORD thy God which brought thee out of the land of
Egypt the house of bondage, and which led thee in the wilderness
both great and terrible with fiery serpents and scorpions and
thirst {drouth} where was no water, which brought the water out of
the rock of flint: which fed thee in the wilderness with Man
whereof thy fathers knew not, for to humble thee and to prove
thee, that he might do thee good at thy latter end.
