Deuteronomy 8:5-11 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

5. You must remember that the Lord your God teaches and corrects you as a father teaches and corrects his son.

6. “You must obey the commands of the Lord your God. Follow him and respect him.

7. The Lord your God is bringing you into a good land—a land with rivers and pools of water. Water flows out of the ground in the valleys and hills.

8. It is a land with wheat and barley, grapevines, fig trees, and pomegranates. It is a land with olive oil and honey.

9. There you will have plenty of food and everything you need. It is a land where the rocks are iron. You can dig copper out of the hills.

10. You will have all you want to eat. Then you will praise the Lord your God for the good land he has given you.

11. “Be careful. Don’t forget the Lord your God! Be careful to obey the commands, laws, and rules that I give you today.
