Deuteronomy 8:17
Print
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.
Otherwise, you may say in your heart, ‘My power and the strength of my hand made me this wealth.’
And beware lest you say in your [mind and] heart, My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth.
And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.
You may say to yourself, ‘My power and my own ability have gained this wealth for me,’
Don’t think to yourself, My own strength and abilities have produced all this prosperity for me.
you will think to yourself, ‘My own power and the strength of my own hand have gotten me this wealth.’
When you become successful, don't say, “I'm rich, and I've earned it all myself.”
—and thou say in thy heart, My power and the might of my hand has procured 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.
Don’t ever say to yourself, ‘I got all this wealth by my own power and ability.’
You must never say to yourself, ‘I have got all these valuable things because I am strong and clever!’
You might say in your heart, “My ability and the power of my hand have earned this wealth for me.”
Beware lest you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth.’
Beware lest you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gained me this wealth.’
You might say ·to yourself [L in your heart/mind], “I am rich because of ·my own power and strength [L the power and strength of my hand; Ps. 30:6–7],”
Beware lest thou say in thine heart, My power, and the strength of mine own hand hath prepared me this abundance.
You may say to yourselves, “I became wealthy because of my own ability and strength.”
So then, you must never think that you have made yourselves wealthy by your own power and strength.
You may say to yourself, ‘My power and my own ability have gained this wealth for me,’
You might say to yourself, “I am rich because of my own strength and power.”
You may say to yourselves, ‘I have become wealthy by my own strength and by my own ability.’
and thou say in thy heart, My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth.
And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.
and thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.
lest you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand made me this wealth.’
And you may think in your heart, ‘My strength and the might of my hand acquired this wealth for me.’
He did it so that you would never feel that it was your own power and might that made you wealthy.
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.
Otherwise, you may say in your heart, “My power and the might of my hand have gained me this wealth.”
You may say to yourselves, “I became wealthy because of my own ability and strength.”
Otherwise, you might say in your heart, “It is my own power and the strength of my own hand that has got me this wealth.”
Otherwise, you may say in your heart, ‘My power and the strength of my hand made me this wealth.’
Otherwise, you may say in your heart, ‘My power and the strength of my hand made me this wealth.’
You might think to yourself, “It is through my strength and the might of my own hand that I have acquired this wealth.”
You might say to yourself, “I am rich because of my own power and strength,”
Be careful not to say, “My own ability and skill have gotten me this wealth.”
You might say to yourself, “My power and my strong hands have made me rich.”
You may say to yourself, “My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me.”
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.’
Be careful not to say in your heart, ‘My power and strong hand have made me rich.’
He did all this so you would never say to yourself, ‘I have achieved this wealth with my own strength and energy.’
Do not say to yourself, ‘My power and the might of my own hand have gained me this wealth.’
Do not say to yourself, ‘My power and the might of my own hand have gained me this wealth.’
Do not say to yourself, “My power and the might of my own hand have gotten me this wealth.”
Do not say to yourself, ‘My power and the might of my own hand have gotten me this wealth.’
And thou say in thine lev, My ko’ach (power) and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this chayil (wealth).
Beware lest you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth.’
Beware lest you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth.’
You may say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand has made me this wealth.’
If He hadn’t, you might have believed, “I’ve gotten all this wealth by my own power and strength!”
and lest you say in your heart, “My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth.”
lest thou wouldest say in thine heart, My strength, and the might of mine hand, hath given all these things to me. (lest thou shouldest say in thy heart, My own strength, and the might of my own hand, hath given me all these things.)
and thou hast said in thy heart, My power, and the might of my hand, hath made for me this wealth:
