For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land(A)—a land with brooks, streams, and deep springs gushing out into the valleys and hills;(B) a land with wheat and barley,(C) vines(D) and fig trees,(E) pomegranates, olive oil and honey;(F) a land where bread(G) will not be scarce and you will lack nothing;(H) a land where the rocks are iron and you can dig copper out of the hills.(I)

10 When you have eaten and are satisfied,(J) praise the Lord your God for the good land he has given you. 11 Be careful that you do not forget(K) the Lord your God, failing to observe his commands, his laws and his decrees that I am giving you this day. 12 Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses and settle down,(L) 13 and when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase and all you have is multiplied, 14 then your heart will become proud and you will forget(M) the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

    and hovers over its young,(A)
that spreads its wings to catch them

    no foreign god was with him.(E)

13 He made him ride on the heights(F) of the land
    and fed him with the fruit of the fields.
He nourished him with honey from the rock,(G)
    and with oil(H) from the flinty crag,
14 with curds and milk from herd and flock
    and with fattened lambs and goats,
with choice rams of Bashan(I)
    and the finest kernels of wheat.(J)
You drank the foaming blood of the grape.(K)
