"and [lest] you say in your heart, "My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth.""
— Deuteronomy 8:17, World English 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. ”
“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 your heart be lifted up, and you forget Yahweh your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage;
who led you through the great and terrible wilderness, [in which were] fiery serpents and scorpions, and thirsty ground where there was no water; who brought you forth water out of the rock of flint;
who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers didn't know; that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end:
and [lest] you say in your heart, "My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth."
But you shall remember Yahweh your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth; that he may establish his covenant which he swore to your fathers, as at this day.
It shall be, if you shall forget Yahweh your God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish.
As the nations that Yahweh makes to perish before you, so you shall perish; because you wouldn't listen to the voice of Yahweh your God.
