Deuteronomy 8:17-19
1599 Geneva Bible
17 Beware lest thou say in thine heart, My power, and the strength of mine own hand hath prepared me this abundance.
18 But remember the Lord thy God: for it is he which [a]giveth thee power to get substance to establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as appeareth this day.
19 And if thou forget the Lord thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I [b]testify unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish.

New International Version
17 You may say to yourself,(A) “My power and the strength of my hands(B) have produced this wealth for me.” 18 But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth,(C) and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today.
19 If you ever forget the Lord your God and follow other gods(D) and worship and bow down to them, I testify against you today that you will surely be destroyed.(E)
