"Otherwise, you might say in your heart: ‘My own strength, and the power of my own hand, have brought forth all these things for me.’ "
— Deuteronomy 8:17, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.”
“and lest thou say in thy heart, My power and the might of my 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.”
your heart might be lifted up, and you might not remember the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt, from the house of servitude,
and who was your leader in the great and terrible wilderness, in which there was the serpent with a burning breath, and the scorpion, and the snake of thirst, and no waters at all. He led streams out of the hardest rock,
and he nourished you in the wilderness with Manna, which your fathers had not known. And after he had afflicted and tested you, in the very end, he took pity on you.
Otherwise, you might say in your heart: ‘My own strength, and the power of my own hand, have brought forth all these things for me.’
But remember the Lord your God, that he himself has provided you with strength, so that he may fulfill his covenant, about which he swore to your fathers, just as the present day reveals.
But if you forget the Lord your God, so that you follow foreign gods, and serve and adore them: behold, I now foretell to you that you shall utterly perish.
Just like the nations, which the Lord destroyed upon your arrival, so shall you also perish, if you have been disobedient to the voice of the Lord your God.”
