Deuteronomy 8

Gen Z: Deuteronomy 8

1Yo, all the rules I’m dropping today? You gotta vibe with them to live, grow, and snag the land God promised your fam.

2Remember how the Lord your God led you for forty years in the wild? He was flexing on you to humble you and see what’s in your heart—are you gonna keep His rules or nah?

3He kept it real, humbled you, let you feel that hunger, then fed you with that manna you didn’t even know about; just to show you that people don’t live off bread alone, but off every word from God’s mouth.

4Your clothes didn’t even fade, and your feet didn’t swell for forty years—no cap.

5Keep it in your heart, just like a dad disciplines his kid, the Lord your God disciplines you.

6So, keep the commandments of the Lord your God, walk in His ways, and show some respect.

7The Lord your God is bringing you to a lit land, with streams of water, fountains, and hidden depths in the hills.

8A land with wheat, barley, vines, fig trees, and pomegranates; it’s got olive oil and honey, pure bussin.

9You’ll eat bread without running low, nothing will be missing; it’s a land where the stones are iron, and you can dig brass from the hills.

10After you’ve eaten and are feeling full, bless the Lord your God for the dope land He’s given you.

11Don’t forget the Lord your God by not keeping His commandments and rules; I’m telling you this today, periodt.

12Lest when you’re all full and living in those nice houses you built, you forget.

13When your herds and flocks grow, and your silver and gold multiply, and everything is stacking up.

14Then your heart gets all puffed up, and you forget the Lord your God who brought you outta Egypt, from that whole slavery scene.

15He led you through that wild and scary wilderness, with fiery snakes, scorpions, and no water; He even got you water from a rock.

16He fed you in the wilderness with that manna your fam didn’t know about, just to humble you and test you, so He could bless you later.

17And don’t be out here saying, “I got this wealth all by myself.”

18Remember the Lord your God; He’s the one giving you the power to get that wealth, so He can keep His promise to your fam like He’s doing today.

19If you forget the Lord your God, chase after other gods, serve and worship them, I’m here to say you’re gonna be done for.

20Just like the nations the Lord wipes out before you, that’ll be you too, ‘cause you didn’t listen to the voice of the Lord your God.

KJV: Deuteronomy 8

1All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers.

2And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.

3And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.

4Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.

5Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the Lord thy God chasteneth thee.

6Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.

7For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;

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

9A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.

10When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the Lord thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.

11Beware that thou forget not the Lord thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:

12Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;

13And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;

14Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the Lord thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;

15Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;

16Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;

17And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.

18But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.

19And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the Lord thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.

20As the nations which the Lord destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the Lord your God.
