Deuteronomy 8:3-9 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

3. He humbled you by letting you go hungry; then He gave you manna to eat, which you and your fathers had not known, so that you might learn that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.

4. Your clothing did not wear out, and your feet did not swell these 40 years.

5. Keep in mind that the Lord your God has been disciplining you just as a man disciplines his son.

6. So keep the commands of the Lord your God by walking in His ways and fearing Him.

7. For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land with streams of water, springs, and deep water sources, flowing in both valleys and hills;

8. a land of wheat, barley, vines, figs, and pomegranates; a land of olive oil and honey;

9. a land where you will eat food without shortage, where you will lack nothing; a land whose rocks are iron and from whose hills you will mine copper.
