Deuteronomy 8:17
And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.
And thou say in thine heart,.... These words are in connection with the former part of the Deuteronomy 8:14:
and thou forget the Lord thy God; the author and giver of all the good things enjoyed, and think within themselves, though they might not express it in words at length:
My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth; so ascribing that to themselves, their labour, and diligence, which ought to be ascribed to the bounty and blessing of God; see Hosea 12:8.
