Deuteronomy 9

1HearH8085, IsraelH3478! Thou art to passH5674 over the JordanH3383 this dayH3117, to enter in to possessH3423 nationsH1471 greaterH1419 and mightierH6099 than thou, citiesH5892 greatH1419 and walled up to heavenH8064, 2a peopleH5971 greatH1419 and tall, the sonsH1121 of the Anakim, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heardH8085 [say], Who can standH3320 before the sonsH1121 of AnakH6061! 3KnowH3045 then this dayH3117, that Jehovah thy 1GodH430 is he that goeth over before thee, a consumingH398 fireH784; he will destroyH8045 them, and he will cast them down before thee, and thou shalt dispossessH3423 them and cause them to perishH6 quicklyH4118, as Jehovah hath saidH1696 unto thee. 4Thou shalt not sayH559 in thy heartH3824, when Jehovah thy 2GodH430 thrusteth them out from before thee, sayingH559, For my righteousnessH6666 Jehovah hath broughtH935 me in to possessH3423 this landH776; but for the wickednessH7564 of these nationsH1471 doth Jehovah dispossessH3423 them from before thee. 5Not for thy righteousnessH6666, or for the uprightnessH3476 of thy heartH3824, dost thou enter in to possessH3423 their landH776, but for the wickednessH7564 of these nationsH1471 doth Jehovah thy 3GodH430 dispossessH3423 them from before thee, and that he may perform the wordH1697 which Jehovah sworeH7650 unto thy fathersH1, to AbrahamH85, to IsaacH3327, and to JacobH3290. 6KnowH3045 therefore that Jehovah thy 4GodH430 doth not giveH5414 thee this goodH2896 landH776 to possessH3423 it for thy righteousnessH6666; for thou art a stiff-necked peopleH5971. 7RememberH2142, forgetH7911 not, how thou provokedst Jehovah thy 5GodH430 to wrath in the wildernessH4057. From the dayH3117 that thou didst depart out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, until ye cameH935 to this placeH4725, ye have beenH1961 rebelliousH4784 against Jehovah. 8And at HorebH2722 ye provoked Jehovah to wrath, and Jehovah was angryH7107 with you, to destroyH8045 you, 9when I wentH5927 up the mountainH2022 to receiveH3947 the tables of stoneH68, the tables of the covenantH1285 which Jehovah madeH3772 with you, and I abode in the mountainH2022 fortyH705 daysH3117 and fortyH705 nightsH3915, — I ateH398 no breadH3899 and drankH8354 no waterH4325, — 10— and Jehovah delivered to me the twoH8147 tables of stoneH68 writtenH3789 with the fingerH676 of 6GodH430; and on them [was writtenH3789] according to all the wordsH1697 which Jehovah spokeH1696 with you on the mountainH2022 from the midstH8432 of the fireH784 on the dayH3117 of the assemblyH6951. 11And it came to pass at the endH7093 of fortyH705 daysH3117 and fortyH705 nightsH3915, that Jehovah gaveH5414 me the twoH8147 tables of stoneH68, the tables of the covenantH1285. 12And Jehovah saidH559 unto me, AriseH6965, goH3318 down quicklyH4118 from hence; for thy peopleH5971 which thou hast broughtH3318 forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714 have corruptedH7843 themselves; they have quicklyH4118 turnedH5493 asideH5493 from the wayH1870 which I commandedH6680 them: they have madeH6213 for themselves a molten image. 13And Jehovah spoke unto me, sayingH559, I have seenH7200 this peopleH5971, and behold, it is a stiff-necked peopleH5971. 14Let me alone, that I may destroyH8045 them, and blot out their nameH8034 from under heavenH8064; and I will makeH6213 of thee a nationH1471 mightierH6099 and greaterH7227 than they. 15And I turnedH6437 and cameH3381 downH3381 from the mountainH2022, and the mountainH2022 burnedH1197 with fireH784; and the twoH8147 tables of the covenantH1285 were in my twoH8147 handsH3027. 16And I sawH7200, and behold, ye had sinnedH2398 against Jehovah your 7GodH430: ye had madeH6213 for yourselves a molten calfH5695; ye had quicklyH4118 turnedH5493 asideH5493 from the wayH1870 which Jehovah had commandedH6680 you. 17And I seizedH8610 the twoH8147 tables, and castH7993 them out of my twoH8147 handsH3027, and brokeH7665 them before your eyesH5869. 18And I fellH5307 downH5307 before Jehovah, as at the firstH7223, fortyH705 daysH3117 and fortyH705 nightsH3915, — I ateH398 no breadH3899 and drankH8354 no waterH4325, — because of all your sinH2398 which ye had sinnedH2398, in doing what is evilH7451 in the eyesH5869 of Jehovah, to provokeH3707 him to angerH3707. 19For I was afraidH3025 of the angerH639 and fury wherewith Jehovah was wroth against you to destroyH8045 you. And Jehovah listenedH8085 unto me alsoH1571 at that timeH6471. 20And with AaronH175 Jehovah was veryH3966 angryH599 to destroyH8045 him; and I prayedH6419 for AaronH175 alsoH1571 at the same timeH6256. 21And I tookH3947 your sinH2403, the calfH5695 which ye had madeH6213, and burnedH8313 it with fireH784, and crushedH3807 it, and ground it very small, until it became fineH1854 dustH6083; and I castH7993 the dustH6083 thereof into the brook that flowed downH3381 from the mountainH2022. 22And at TaberahH8404, and at MassahH4532, and at Kibroth-hattaavahH6914, ye provoked Jehovah to wrath. 23And whenH834 Jehovah sentH7971 you from Kadesh-barneaH6947, sayingH559, GoH5927 up and takeH3423 possessionH3423 of the landH776 which I have givenH5414 you, ye rebelledH4784 against the word of Jehovah your 8GodH430, and ye believedH539 him not, nor hearkened to his voiceH6963. 24Ye have beenH1961 rebelliousH4784 against Jehovah from the dayH3117 that I knewH3045 you. 25So I fellH5307 downH5307 before Jehovah the fortyH705 daysH3117 and fortyH705 nightsH3915, as I fellH5307 downH5307; for Jehovah had saidH559 he would destroyH8045 you. 26I prayedH6419 therefore to Jehovah, and saidH559, Lord Jehovah, destroyH7843 not thy peopleH5971 and thine inheritanceH5159, which thou hast redeemedH6299 through thy greatnessH1433, which thou hast broughtH3318 forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714 with a powerful handH3027. 27RememberH2142 thy servantsH5650 AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and JacobH3290; look not at the stubbornness of this peopleH5971, nor at their wickednessH7562, nor at their sinH2403; 28lestH6435 the landH776 whence thou broughtest us out sayH559, Because Jehovah was not ableH3201 to bringH935 them into the landH776 which he had promised them, and because he hated them, he hath broughtH935 them out to killH4191 them in the wildernessH4057. 29They are indeed thy peopleH5971 and thine inheritanceH5159, which thou broughtest out with thy greatH1419 power and with thy stretched-outH5186 armH2220.
