- Be careful to follow every command I am giving you today, so that you may live and increase and may enter and possess the land that the LORD promised on oath to your forefathers.
- Remember how the LORD your God led you all the way in the desert these forty years, to humble you and to test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands.
- He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your fathers had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.
- Your clothes did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years.
- Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the LORD your God disciplines you.

- "He humbled you and let you be hungry, and fed you with manna which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that He might make you understand that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of the LORD.
- "Your clothing did not wear out on you, nor did your foot swell these forty years.
- "Thus you are to know in your heart that the LORD your God was disciplining you just as a man disciplines his son.
