“And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.”
You may say to yourself, 'My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me' — the formula of self-deception is starkly presented: the heart speaks a lie about causation, claiming autonomous agency in wealth-creation. This is the precise inversion of covenant truth: human labor is real, but its fruitfulness is the LORD's gift.
