Deuteronomy 8:17-19
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
17 Otherwise, you might say in your heart,(A) “It is my own power and the strength of my own hand that has got me this wealth.” 18 Remember then the Lord, your God, for he is the one who gives you the power to get wealth, by fulfilling, as he has now done, the covenant he swore to your ancestors. 19 But if you do forget the Lord, your God, and go after other gods, serving and bowing down to them,(B) I bear witness to you this day that you will perish utterly.
