Deuteronomy 8:17-19
GOD’S WORD Translation
17 You may say to yourselves, “I became wealthy because of my own ability and strength.” 18 But remember the Lord your God is the one who makes you wealthy. He’s confirming the promise [a] which he swore to your ancestors. It’s still in effect today.
19 I warn you today that if you forget the Lord your God and follow other gods, and if you serve them and bow down to them, you will certainly be destroyed.

Deuteronomy 8:17-19
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)
