Deuteronomy 9:1-6

1“HearH8085, IsraelH3478! You are crossingH5674 the JordanH3383 todayH3117, to goH935 inH935 to dispossessH3423 1nationsH1471 greaterH1419 and mightierH6099 thanH4480 you, citiesH5892 that are greatH1419 and 2fortifiedH1219 to heavenH8064, 2a peopleH5971 who are greatH1419 and tallH7311, the sonsH1121 of the AnakimH6062, whomH834 you knowH3045 and of whomH834 you have heardH8085 it said, ‘3WhoH4310 can standH3320 againstH6440 the sonsH1121 of AnakH6061?’ 3So beH3045 awareH3045 todayH3117 that 4it is the LordH3068 your GodH430 who is crossingH5674 overH5674 aheadH6440 of you as 5a consumingH398 fireH784. He will destroyH8045 them and He will subdueH3665 them beforeH6440 you, so that 6you may driveH3423 them outH3423 and eliminateH6 them quicklyH4118, justH3512 asH3512 the LordH3068 has spokenH1696 to you.

4“7Do not sayH559 in your heartH3824 when the LordH3068 your GodH430 has drivenH1920 them awayH1920 from 8you, ‘Because of my righteousnessH6666 the LordH3068 has broughtH935 me inH935 to takeH3423 possessionH3423 of thisH2088 landH776.’ Rather, it is 9because of the 10wickednessH7564 of theseH428 nationsH1471 that the LordH3068 is dispossessingH3423 them beforeH4480H6440 you. 5It is 11not because of your righteousnessH6666 or the uprightnessH3476 of your heartH3824 that you are goingH935 inH935 to takeH3423 possessionH3423 of their landH776, 12but it is becauseH3588 of the 13wickednessH7564 of theseH428 nationsH1471 that the LordH3068 your GodH430 is drivingH3423 them outH3423 from beforeH6440 you, and inH4616 orderH4616 toH4616 confirmH6965 14the 15oathH1697 whichH834 the LordH3068 sworeH7650 to your fathersH1, to AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and JacobH3290.

6“KnowH3045, then, that it is not because of your righteousnessH6666 that the LordH3068 your GodH430 is givingH5414 you thisH2088 goodH2896 landH776 to possessH3423, for you are 16a 17stubbornH7186H6203 peopleH5971.
