Deuteronomy 8:7

Read in context

Deuteronomy 8:5–9 · Berean Standard Bible

5 So know in your heart that just as a man disciplines his son, so the LORD your God disciplines you.

6 Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God, walking in His ways and fearing Him.

7 For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks and fountains and springs that flow through the valleys and hills;

8 a land of wheat, barley, vines, fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of olive oil and honey;

9 a land where you will eat food without scarcity, where you will lack nothing; a land whose rocks are iron and whose hills are ready to be mined for copper.
