DEU 8:3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee
with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that

every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.
DEU 8:4 Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot
swell, these forty years.
DEU 8:5 Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man
chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.

thee, saith the LORD.

it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.

into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.

very dark, and no brightness in it?
