² Remember how the Lord your God led^(A) you all the way in the wilderness these forty years, to humble and test^(B) you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands. ³ He humbled^(C) you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna,^(D) which neither you nor your ancestors had known, to teach^(E) you that man does not live on bread^(F) alone but on every word that comes from the mouth^(G) of the Lord.^{(H) 4} Your clothes did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years.^{(I) 5} Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the Lord your God disciplines you.^(J)

⁶ Observe the commands of the Lord your God, walking in obedience to him^(K) and revering him.^{(L) 7} For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land^(M)—a land with brooks, streams, and deep springs gushing out into the valleys and hills;^{(N) 8} a land with wheat and barley,^(O) vines^(P) and fig trees,^(Q) pomegranates, olive oil and honey;^{(R) 9} a land where bread^(S) will not be scarce and you will lack nothing;^(T) a land where the rocks are iron and you can dig copper out of the hills.^(U)

¹⁰ When you have eaten and are satisfied,^(V) praise the Lord your God for the good land he has given you. ¹¹ Be careful that you do not forget^(W) the Lord your God, failing to observe his commands, his laws and his decrees that I am giving you this day. ¹² Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses and settle down,^{(X) 13} and when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase and all you have is multiplied, ¹⁴ then your heart will become proud and you will forget^(Y) the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. ¹⁵ He led you through the vast and dreadful wilderness,^(Z) that thirsty and waterless land, with its venomous snakes^(AA) and scorpions. He brought you water out of hard rock.^{(AB) 16} He gave you manna^(AC) to eat in the wilderness, something your ancestors had never known,^(AD) to humble and test^(AE) you so that in the end it might go well with you. ¹⁷ You may say to yourself,^(AF) “My power and the strength of my hands^(AG) have produced this wealth for me.” ¹⁸ But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth,^(AH) and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today.

Psalm 13^[a]

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

²⁸ “Come to me,^(A) all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.^{(B) 29} Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,^(C) for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.^{(D) 30} For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”^(E)
