III. A prospect of the good land into which God would now bring them, <a class="bibleref" title="Deut.8.7-Deut.8.9" href="/passage/?search=Deut.8.7-Deut.8.9">Deut. 8:7-9</a>. IV. A necessary caution against the temptations of a prosperous condition, <a class="bibleref" title="Deut.8.10-Deut.8.14,Deut.8.17,Deut.8.18" href="/passage/?search=Deut.8.10-Deut.8.14,Deut.8.17,Deut.8.18"><span class="bibleref" title="Deut.8.10-Deut.8.14">Deut. 8:10-14</span>, <span class="bibleref" title="Deut.8.17">17</span>, <span class="bibleref" title="Deut.8.18">18</span></a>.
