3 He made you go hungry, and then he gave you manna to eat, food that you and your ancestors had never eaten before. He did this to teach you that human beings must not depend on bread alone to sustain them, but on everything that the Lord says.
4 During these forty years your clothes have not worn out, nor have your feet swollen up.
5 Remember that the Lord your God corrects and punishes you just as a father disciplines his children.
6 So then, do as the Lord has commanded you: live according to his laws and obey him.
7 The Lord your God is bringing you into a fertile land — a land that has rivers and springs, and underground streams gushing out into the valleys and hills;
8 a land that produces wheat and barley, grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives, and honey.
9 There you will never go hungry or ever be in need. Its rocks have iron in them, and from its hills you can mine copper.
