ગુજરાતીપુનર્નિયમ ૮:૧૭
રખેને તમે તમારા મનમાં વિચારો કે “મારી પોતાની શક્તિથી અને મારા હાથનાં સામર્થ્યથી મેં આ સર્વ સંપત્તિ મેળવી છે.”
हिन्दीव्यवस्थाविवरण ८:१७
और कहीं ऐसा न हो कि तू सोचने लगे, कि यह सम्पत्ति मेरे ही सामर्थ्य और मेरे ही भुजबल से मुझे प्राप्त हुई।

In context

15who led you through the great and terrible wilderness, with venomous snakes and scorpions, and thirsty ground where there was no water; who poured water for you out of the rock of flint;

16who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers didn’t know, that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end;

17and lest you say in your heart, “My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth.”

18But you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swore to your fathers, as it is today.

19It shall be, if you shall forget the LORD your God, and walk after other gods, and serve them and worship them, I testify against you today that you shall surely perish.
