Deuteronomy 8:17-19

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁷ Lest thou shouldst say in thy heart: My own might, and the strength of my own hand have achieved all these things for me.

¹⁸ But remember the Lord thy God, that he hath given thee strength, that he might fulfill his covenant, concerning which he swore to thy fathers, as this present day sheweth.

¹⁹ But if thou forget the Lord thy God, and follow strange gods, and serve and adore them: behold now I foretell thee that thou shalt utterly perish.
