³ He humbled you by letting you hunger, then by feeding you with manna, with which neither you nor your ancestors were acquainted, in order to make you understand that one does not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.^{(A) 4} The clothes on your back did not wear out, and your feet did not swell these forty years.^{(B) 5} Know, then, in your heart that, as a parent disciplines a child, so the Lord your God disciplines you.^(C)
