"so that you would recognize in your heart that, just as a man educates his son, so has the Lord your God educated you. "
— Deuteronomy 8:5, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the Lord thy God chasteneth thee.”
“And thou shalt consider in thy heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so Jehovah thy God chasteneth thee. ”
“You shall consider in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so Yahweh your God chastens you.”
“Be keenly aware that just as a parent disciplines his child, the LORD your God disciplines you.”
“That thou mayst consider in thy heart, that as a man traineth up his son, so the Lord thy God hath trained thee up.”
“Keep in mind this thought, that as a son is trained by his father, so you have been trained by the Lord your God.”
“Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the Lord thy God chasteneth thee.”
And you shall remember the entire journey along which the Lord your God led you, for forty years through the desert, to afflict you, and to test you, and to make known the things that were turning in your soul, whether or not you would keep his commandments.
He afflicted you with need, and he gave you Manna as your food, which neither you nor your fathers knew, so as to reveal to you that it is not by bread alone that man lives, but by every word that goes forth from the mouth of God.
Your garment, with which you were covered, has by no means decayed due to age, and your foot has not been worn down, even to this fortieth year,
so that you would recognize in your heart that, just as a man educates his son, so has the Lord your God educated you.
So may you keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and walk in his ways, and fear him.
For the Lord your God will lead you into a good land: a land of brooks and waters and fountains, in which deep rivers burst forth from its plains and mountains,
a land of crops, barley, and vineyards, in which fig and pomegranate and olive trees spring up, a land of oil and honey.
