⁷ For the blessing of the Lord your God has been on you in all the work of your hands: he has knowledge of your wanderings through this great waste: these forty years the Lord your God has been with you, and you have been short of nothing.

² And keep in mind the way by which the Lord your God has taken you through the waste land these forty years, so that he might make low your pride and put you to the test, to see what was in your heart and if you would keep his orders or not.

³ And he made low your pride and let you be without food and gave you manna for your food, a thing new to you, which your fathers never saw; so that he might make it clear to you that bread is not man's only need, but his life is in every word which comes out of the mouth of the Lord.

⁴ Through all these forty years your clothing did not get old or your feet become tired.

¹⁰ For he has knowledge of the way I take; after I have been tested I will come out like gold.

⁵ For forty years I have been your guide through the waste land: your clothing has not become old on your backs, or your shoes on your feet.

²⁷ My sheep give ear to my voice, and I have knowledge of them, and they come after me:

³⁵ And he said to them, When I sent you out without money or bag or shoes, were you in need of anything? And they said, Nothing.

⁷ I will be glad and have delight in your mercy; because you have seen my trouble; you have had pity on my soul in its sorrows;

⁶ Because the Lord sees the way of the upright, but the end of the sinner is destruction.

²¹ Truly, for forty years you were their support in the waste land, and they were in need of nothing; their clothing did not get old or their feet become tired.

⁵ And from the time when he made him overseer and gave him control of all his property, the blessing of the Lord was with the Egyptian, because of Joseph; the blessing of the Lord was on all he had, in the house and in the field.

²⁷ And Laban said, If you will let me say so, do not go away; for I have seen by the signs that the Lord has been good to me because of you.

¹² Now Isaac, planting seed in that land, got in the same year fruit a hundred times as much, for the blessing of the Lord was on him.

³⁵ The Lord has given my master every blessing, and he has become great: he has given him flocks and herds and silver and gold, and men-servants and women-servants and camels and asses.

² And I will make of you a great nation, blessing you and making your name great; and you will be a blessing:
