"Be careful not to say,“My own ability and skill have gotten me this wealth.”"
— Deuteronomy 8:17, NET Bible
“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."”
“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.”
be sure you do not feel self-important and forget the LORD your God who brought you from the land of Egypt, the place of slavery,
and who brought you through the great, fearful wilderness of venomous serpents and scorpions, an arid place with no water. He made water flow from a flint rock and
fed you in the wilderness with manna(which your ancestors had never before known) so that he might by humbling you test you and eventually bring good to you.
Be careful not to say,“My own ability and skill have gotten me this wealth.”
You must remember the LORD your God, for he is the one who gives ability to get wealth; if you do this he will confirm his covenant that he made by oath to your ancestors, even as he has to this day.
Now if you forget the LORD your God at all and follow other gods, worshiping and prostrating yourselves before them, I testify to you today that you will surely be annihilated.
Just like the nations the LORD is about to destroy from your sight, so he will do to you because you would not obey him.
