Deuteronomy, Chapter 08, King James Bible

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Deuteronomy, chapter eight. All the commandments which I command THEE
this day, shall he observe to do, that ye may
live and multiply, and go in and possess the land
which the Lord swear unto your fathers. And thou shalt
remember all the way which the Lord thy God led
thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee

(00:22):
and to prove THEE to know what was in thine heart,
whether thou wouldst keep his commandments or no. And he
humbled thee and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee
with manner which thou knewest. Not neither did thy fathers
know that he might make THEE know that man doth
not live by bread only, but by every word that

(00:44):
proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord, doth man live.
Thy raiment waxed, not old upon thee. Neither did thy
foot swell these forty years. Thou shalt also consider in
thine heart that as a man chasteth his son, so
the Lord thy God chasteth thee. Therefore thou shalt keep

(01:04):
the commandments of the Lord thy God, to walk in
his ways and to fear him. For the Lord thy God,
bringeth THEE into a good land, A land of brooks
of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of
valleys and hills. A land of wheat and barley, and
vines and fig trees and pomegranates, A land of olive

(01:25):
oil and honey. A land wherein thou shalt eat bread
without scarceness, thou shalt not lack anything in it. A
land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills
thou mayest dig brass. When thou hast eaten and art full,
then thou shalt bless the Lord thy God for the
good land which he hath given THEE. Beware that thou

(01:47):
forget not the Lord thy God, in not keeping his
commandments and his judgments and his statutes, which I command
THEE this day. Lest when thou hast eaten and art full,
and hast built goodly houses and dwelt therein, And when
thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and
thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied,

(02:09):
then thine heart be lifted up. And thou forget the
Lord thy God, which brought THEE forth out of the
land of Egypt, from the house of Bondage, who led
THEE through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery
serpents and scorpions, in drought, where there was no water,
Who brought THEE forth water out of the rock of flint,

(02:29):
Who fed THEE in the wilderness with manner which thy
fathers knew, not that he might humble THEE, and that
he might prove THEE to do THEE good. At thy
latter end, and thou say, in thine heart, my power
and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.
But thou shalt remember the Lord, thy God, for it

(02:50):
is he that giveth THEE power to get wealth, that
he may establish his covenant, which he swear unto thy fathers.
As it is this day, and it shall be if
thou do at all forget the Lord thy God, and
walk after other gods, and serve them and worship them.
I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish,

(03:11):
as the nations which the Lord destroyeth before your face.
So shall ye perish, because ye would not be obedient
unto the voice of the Lord, your God.
