International Standard Version

1You must carefully follow every commandment I am giving you today, so that you may live and multiply, and enter and possess the land that the LORD swore to give your fathers.

1"Be careful to observe every command that I'm instructing you today, in order that you may live, increase, and enter and take possession of the land that the LORD promised by an oath to your ancestors.

2Remember that these forty years the LORD your God led you all the way in the wilderness, so that He might humble you and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep His commandments.

2Remember how the LORD your God led you all the way these 40 years in the desert, to humble and test you in order to make known what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands.

3He humbled you, and in your hunger He gave you manna to eat, which neither you nor your fathers had known, so that you might understand that man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.

3He humbled you, causing you to be hungry, yet he fed you with manna that neither you nor your ancestors had known, in order to teach you that human beings are not to live by food alone—instead human beings are to live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD.

4Your clothing did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years.

4"The clothes you wore did not wear out, nor did your feet blister during these 40 years.

5So know in your heart that just as a man disciplines his son, so the LORD your God disciplines you.

5Be convinced in your heart that as a father disciplines his son, so the LORD your God disciplines you.

6Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God, walking in His ways and fearing Him.

6Observe the commands of the LORD your God by walking in his ways and by fearing him,

7For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks and fountains and springs that flow through the valleys and hills;

7because the LORD your God is bringing you to a good land—a land with rivers and deep springs flowing to the valleys and hills.

8a land of wheat, barley, vines, fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of olive oil and honey;

8It's a land filled with wheat, barley, vines, fig trees, and pomegranates. It's a land filled with olive oil and honey—

9a land where you will eat food without scarcity, where you will lack nothing; a land whose rocks are iron and whose hills are ready to be mined for copper.

9a land without scarcity. You'll eat food in it and lack nothing. It's a land where its rocks are iron and you can dig copper from its mountains."

10When you eat and are satisfied, you are to bless the LORD your God for the good land that He has given you.

10"When you have eaten and are satisfied, bless the LORD your God for the good land that he has given you.

11Be careful not to forget the LORD your God by failing to keep His commandments and ordinances and statutes, which I am giving you this day.

11Be careful! Otherwise, you will forget the LORD your God by failing to keep his commands, ordinances, and statutes that I'm commanding you this day.

12Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses in which to dwell,

12Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you have built beautiful houses and lived in them,

13and when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase and all that you have is multiplied,

13when your cattle and oxen multiply, when your silver and gold increase,

14then your heart will become proud, and you will forget the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

14then you will become arrogant. You'll neglect the LORD your God,

15He led you through the vast and terrifying wilderness with its venomous snakes and scorpions, a thirsty and waterless land. He brought you water from the rock of flint.

15who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery, and who led you through the vast and dangerous desert, that parched land without water, with its poisonous snakes and scorpions. He brought water out of solid rock for you,

16He fed you in the wilderness with manna that your fathers had not known, in order to humble you and test you, so that in the end He might cause you to prosper.

16and fed you in the desert with manna that neither you nor your ancestors had known, to humble and test you so that things go well with you later.

17You might say in your heart, “The power and strength of my hands have made this wealth for me.”

17You may say to yourselves, 'I have become wealthy by my own strength and by my own ability.'

18But remember that it is the LORD your God who gives you the power to gain wealth, in order to confirm His covenant that He swore to your fathers even to this day.

18But remember the LORD your God, because he is the one who gives you the ability to produce wealth, in order to confirm his covenant that he promised by an oath to your ancestors, as is the case today.

19If you ever forget the LORD your God and go after other gods to worship and bow down to them, I testify against you today that you will surely perish.

19If you neglect the LORD your God, follow other gods, and serve and worship them, I testify to you today that you will certainly be destroyed.

20Like the nations that the LORD has destroyed before you, so you will perish if you do not obey the LORD your God.

20Just like the nations whom the LORD destroyed before you, so will you be destroyed, because you did not listen to the voice of the LORD your God."
