Deuteronomy 8:17

And thou say in thine heart ,.... These words are in connection with the former part of the Deuteronomy 8:14 ,

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 .
