If you start thinking to yourselves, “I did all this. And all by myself. I’m rich. It’s all mine!”—well, think again. Remember that GOD, your God, gave you the strength to produce all this wealth so as to confirm the covenant that he promised to your ancestors—as it is today.

and thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.

Otherwise, you may say in your heart, ‘My power and the strength of my hand made me this wealth.’

You might say to yourself, “I am rich because of my own power and strength,”

and lest thou say in thy heart, My power and the might of my hand hath gotten me this wealth.

You may say to yourself, “My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me.”

then you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gained me this wealth.’

Otherwise, you may say in your heart, ‘My power and the strength of my hand made me this wealth.’

He did all this so you would never say to yourself, ‘I have achieved this wealth with my own strength and energy.’

Beware lest you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth.’
