This was not a mere empty vaunt but a deliberate avowal of his real sentiments .

这倒不是一个空洞的 吹牛，而是他真实感情的供状。

And the LORD said unto Gideon The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands lest Israel vaunt themselves against me saying Mine own hand hath saved me .

耶和华对基甸说，跟随你的人过多，我不能将米甸人交在他们手中， 免得以色列人向我 夸大，说，是我们自己的手救了我们。
