Deuteronomy 9:3-6

3So beH3045 awareH3045 todayH3117 that 1it is the LordH3068 your GodH430 who is crossingH5674 overH5674 aheadH6440 of you as 2a consumingH398 fireH784. He will destroyH8045 them and He will subdueH3665 them beforeH6440 you, so that 3you may driveH3423 them outH3423 and eliminateH6 them quicklyH4118, justH3512 asH3512 the LordH3068 has spokenH1696 to you.

4“4Do not sayH559 in your heartH3824 when the LordH3068 your GodH430 has drivenH1920 them awayH1920 from 5you, ‘Because of my righteousnessH6666 the LordH3068 has broughtH935 me inH935 to takeH3423 possessionH3423 of thisH2088 landH776.’ Rather, it is 6because of the 7wickednessH7564 of theseH428 nationsH1471 that the LordH3068 is dispossessingH3423 them beforeH4480H6440 you. 5It is 8not because of your righteousnessH6666 or the uprightnessH3476 of your heartH3824 that you are goingH935 inH935 to takeH3423 possessionH3423 of their landH776, 9but it is becauseH3588 of the 10wickednessH7564 of theseH428 nationsH1471 that the LordH3068 your GodH430 is drivingH3423 them outH3423 from beforeH6440 you, and inH4616 orderH4616 toH4616 confirmH6965 11the 12oathH1697 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 13a 14stubbornH7186H6203 peopleH5971.
