Deuteronomy 8:17-18 The Message (MSG)
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.

The passage appears in various translations, such as the King James Version (KJV), New International Version (NIV), New Living Translation (NLT), among others. Despite the linguistic nuances, the essence remains consistent: attributing the power to attain wealth to God and reinforcing the covenant made with ancestors.
