KJV Easy Read Bible

Remember the Lord Your God

1All the commandments which I command you this day shall youp observe to do, that youp may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the Lord swore to yourp fathers.

2And you shall remember all the way which the Lord your God led you these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you, and to prove you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments, or no.   test;

3And He humbled you, and allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna, which you knew not, neither did your fathers know; that He might make you know that man does not live by bread only, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord does man live.   MATT 4:4; LUKE 4:3

4Your raiment waxed not old upon you, neither did your foot swell, these forty years.   clothing; grew

5You shall also consider in your heart, that, as a man chastens his son, so the Lord your God chastens you.

6Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, and to fear Him.

7For the Lord your God brings you 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 you shall eat bread without scarceness, you shall not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you may dig brass.   bronze

10When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land which He has given you.

11Beware that you forget not the Lord your God in not keeping His commandments, and His judgments, and His statutes, which I command you this day:   laws

12Lest when you have eaten and are full and have built goodly houses, and dwelled therein;

13And when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied;

14Then your heart be lifted up, and you forget the Lord your God which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;   you become proud

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

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

17And you say in your heart, My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth.

18But you shall remember the Lord your God: for it is He that gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.   agreement

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

20As the nations which the Lord destroys before yourp face, so shall youp perish; because youp would not be obedient to the voice of the Lord yourp God.
