Deuteronomy 9:1-3

1“Hear, Israel! You are crossing the Jordan today, to go in to dispossess 1nations greater and mightier than you, cities that are great and 2fortified to heaven, 2a people who are great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you know and of whom you have heard it said, ‘3Who can stand against the sons of Anak?’ 3So be aware today that 4it is the Lord your God who is crossing over ahead of you as 5a consuming fire. He will destroy them and He will subdue them before you, so that 6you may drive them out and eliminate them quickly, just as the Lord has spoken to you.
