Deuteronomy 8:2-6

English Standard Version

² And you shall remember the whole way that the Lord your God has led you ^(A)these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, ^(B)testing you ^(C)to know what was in your heart, ^(D)whether you would keep his commandments or not. ³ And he humbled you and ^(E)let you hunger and ^(F)fed you with manna, which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that he might make you know that ^(G)man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word^[a] that comes from the mouth of the Lord. ^4 (H)Your clothing did not wear out on you and your foot did not swell these forty years. ⁵ Know then in your heart that, ^(I)as a man disciplines his son, the Lord your God disciplines you. ⁶ So you shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God by walking in his ways and by fearing him.
