Although you make your heart like the heart of God—

Otherwise, you may say in your heart, ‘My power and the strength of my hand made me this wealth.’

“By the power of my hand and by my wisdom I did this,
For I have understanding;
And I removed the boundaries of the peoples
And plundered their treasures,
And like a mighty man I brought down their inhabitants,
