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

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

You may say to yourself,‘ My power and my own ability have gained this wealth for me,’

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

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

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 my own ability have gained this wealth for me,’

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

“ After the Lord your God has done this for you, don’t say in your hearts,‘ The Lord has given us this land because we are such good people!’ No, it is because of the wickedness of the other nations that he is pushing them out of your way.

For what gives you the right to make such a judgment? What do you have that God hasn’t given you? And if everything you have is from God, why boast as though it were not a gift?

I have knocked down their kings like a bull.I have robbed their nests of riches and gathered up kingdoms as a farmer gathers eggs. No one can even flap a wing against me or utter a peep of protest.”
