Deuteronomy 9:3-6

3KnowH3045 therefore todayH3117 that 1it is the LordH3068 your GodH430 who is crossingH5674 overH5674 beforeH6440 you as 2a consumingH398 fireH784. He will destroyH8045 them and He will subdueH3665 them beforeH6440 you, so that 3you may driveH3423 them out and destroyH6 them quicklyH4118, justH3512 as the LordH3068 has spokenH1696 to you.

4“4Do not sayH559 in your heartH3824 when the LordH3068 your GodH430 has drivenH1920 them out beforeH4480H6440 5you, ‘Because of my righteousnessH6666 the LordH3068 has broughtH935 me in to possessH3423 thisH2088 landH776,’ but it is 6because of the wickednessH7564 of theseH428 nationsH1471 that the LordH3068 is dispossessingH3423 them beforeH4480H6440 you. 5It is 7not for your righteousnessH6666 or for the uprightnessH3476 of your heartH3824 that you are goingH935 to possessH3423 their landH776, but it is becauseH3588 of the wickednessH7564 of theseH428 nationsH1471 that the LordH3068 your GodH430 is drivingH3423 them out beforeH4480H6440 you, in orderH4616 to confirmH6965 8the 9oathH1697 whichH834 the LordH3068 sworeH7650 to your fathersH1, to AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327 and JacobH3290.

6“KnowH3045, then, it is not because of your righteousnessH6666 that the LordH3068 your GodH430 is givingH5414 you thisH2088 goodH2896 landH776 to possessH3423, for you are 10a 11stubbornH7186H6203 peopleH5971.
