Deuteronomy 29:3
1 These are the words of the covenant that the LORD commanded Moses to make with the Israelites in the land of Moab, in addition to the covenant He had made with them at Horeb.
2 Moses summoned all Israel and proclaimed to them, “You have seen with your own eyes everything the LORD did in Egypt to Pharaoh, to all his officials, and to all his land.
You saw with your own eyes the great trials, and those miraculous signs and wonders.
4 Yet to this day the LORD has not given you a mind to understand, eyes to see, or ears to hear.
5 For forty years I led you in the wilderness, yet your clothes and sandals did not wear out.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
