American Standard Version
"and lest thou say in thy heart, My power and the might of my hand hath gotten me this wealth. "
— Deuteronomy 8:17, American Standard Version
“And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.”
“and [lest] you say in your heart, "My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth."”
“Be careful not to say,“My own ability and skill have gotten me this wealth.””
“Lest thou shouldst say in thy heart: My own might, and the strength of my own hand have achieved all these things for me.”
“Say not then, in your hearts, My power and the strength of my hands have got me this wealth.”
“And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.”
then thy heart be lifted up, and thou forget Jehovah thy God, who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage;
who led thee through the great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents and scorpions, and thirsty ground where was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;
who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not; that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end:
and lest thou say in thy heart, My power and the might of my hand hath gotten me this wealth.
But thou shalt remember Jehovah thy God, for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth; that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as at this day.
And it shall be, if thou shalt forget Jehovah thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.
As the nations that Jehovah maketh to perish before you, so shall ye perish; because ye would not hearken unto the voice of Jehovah your God.
