Deuteronomy 9

1HearH8085, O IsraelH3478: thou art to passH5674 over JordanH3383 this dayH3117, to goH935 in to possessH3423 nationsH1471 greaterH1419 and mightierH6099 thanH4480 thyself, citiesH5892 greatH1419 and fenced upH935 to heavenH8064, 2a peopleH5971 greatH1419 and tallH7311, the sonsH1121 of the AnakimH6062, whomH834 thou knowest, and of whomH834 thou hast heardH8085 say, Who canH4310 standH3320 beforeH6440 the sonsH1121 of AnakH6061? 3KnowH3045 therefore this dayH3117, that the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 is he whichH834 goeth over beforeH6440 thee as a devouringH398 fireH784; he shall destroyH8045 them, and he shall bringH3045 them downH6440 beforeH6440 thee: soH834 shalt thou driveH3423 them outH3423, and makeH3045 them to perishH6 quicklyH4118, as the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 unto thee. 4SpeakH559 notH408 thou in thine heartH3824, afterH776 that the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath thrustH1920 them outH3423 from beforeH6440 thee, sayingH559, For my righteousnessH6666 the LORDH3068 hath broughtH935 meH6440 in to possessH3423 this landH776: whereas for the wickednessH7564 of theseH428 nationsH1471 the LORDH3068 doth driveH3423 them outH3423 from beforeH6440 thee. 5NotH3808 for thy righteousnessH6666, or for the uprightnessH3476 of thine heartH3824, dost thou goH935 in to possessH3423 their landH776: but for the wickednessH7564 of theseH428 nationsH1471 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 doth driveH3423 them outH3423 from beforeH6440 thee, and that he may establishH6965 the wordH1697 whichH834 the LORDH3068 sware unto thy fathersH1, to AbrahamH85, to IsaacH3327, and to JacobH3290. 6KnowH3045 therefore, that the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 giveth thee notH3808 this goodH2896 landH776 to possessH3423 it for thy righteousnessH6666; for thou art a stiffnecked peopleH5971. 7RememberH2142, forgetH7911 thou notH408, howH834 thou provokedst the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 to wrathH7107 in the wildernessH4057: from the dayH3117 that thou wentest forthH3318 outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, untilH5704 ye cameH935 unto this placeH4725, ye have been rebelliousH4784 againstH5973 the LORDH3068. 8Also in HorebH2722 ye provokedH7107 the LORDH3068 to wrathH7107, and the LORDH3068 was angryH7107 with youH853 to have destroyedH8045 youH853. 9When I was goneH5927 upH5927 intoH3947 the mountH2022 to receiveH3947 the tables of stoneH68, evenH3808 the tables of the covenantH1285 whichH834 the LORDH3068 madeH3772 with youH834, then I abodeH3427 in the mountH2022 fortyH705 daysH3117 and fortyH705 nightsH3915; I didH834 neitherH3808 eatH398 breadH3899 norH3808 drinkH8354 waterH4325. 10And the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 unto meH413 the twoH8147 tables of stoneH68 writtenH3789 with the fingerH676 of GodH430; and on them was writtenH3789 accordingH5921 to allH3605 the wordsH1697, whichH834 the LORDH3068 spake with youH834 in the mountH2022 outH5921 of the midstH8432 of the fireH784 in the dayH3117 of the assemblyH6951. 11And it cameH1961 to passH1961 at the endH7093 of fortyH705 daysH3117 and fortyH705 nightsH3915, that the LORDH3068 gaveH5414 meH413 the twoH8147 tables of stoneH68, evenH853 the tables of the covenantH1285. 12And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto meH413, AriseH6965, getH6965 thee downH3381 quicklyH4118 from hence; for thy peopleH5971 whichH834 thou hast broughtH3318 forthH3318 outH3318 of EgyptH4714 have corruptedH7843 themselves; they are quicklyH4118 turnedH5493 asideH5493 outH3318 of the wayH1870 whichH834 I commandedH6680 them; they have madeH6213 them a molten image. 13FurthermoreH2009 the LORDH3068 spake unto meH413, sayingH559, I have seenH7200 this peopleH5971, and, beholdH2009, it is a stiffnecked peopleH5971: 14letH7503 meH4480 aloneH7503, that I may destroyH8045 them, and blot outH4480 their nameH8034 from underH8478 heavenH8064: and I will makeH6213 of thee a nationH1471 mightierH6099 and greaterH7227 thanH4480 they. 15SoH4480 I turnedH6437 and cameH3381 downH3381 from the mountH2022, and the mountH2022 burnedH1197 with fireH784: and the twoH8147 tables of the covenantH1285 were in my twoH8147 handsH3027. 16And I lookedH7200, and, beholdH2009, ye had sinnedH2398 againstH4480 the LORDH3068 your GodH430; ye had madeH6213 youH834 a molten calfH5695: ye had turnedH5493 asideH5493 quicklyH4118 outH4480 of the wayH1870 whichH834 the LORDH3068 had commandedH6680 youH834. 17And I tookH8610 holdH8610 of the twoH8147 tables, and castH7993 them outH5921 of my twoH8147 handsH3027, and brake them beforeH5869 your eyesH5869. 18And I fellH5307 downH5307 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, as at the firstH7223, fortyH705 daysH3117 and fortyH705 nightsH3915; I didH6213 neitherH3808 eatH398 breadH3899 norH3808 drinkH8354 waterH4325; becauseH5921 of allH3605 your sinH2398 whichH834 ye sinnedH2398, in doingH6213 that whichH834 was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, to provokeH3707 him to angerH3707. 19For I was afraidH3025 of the angerH639 and hotH2534 displeasureH2534, wherewith the LORDH3068 was wroth againstH5921 youH834 to destroyH8045 youH834. But the LORDH3068 hearkened unto meH413 that time also. 20And the LORDH3068 was veryH3966 angryH599 with AaronH175 to have destroyedH8045 him: and I prayedH6419 for AaronH175 also the sameH1931 time. 21And I tookH3947 your sinH2403, the calfH5695 whichH834 ye had madeH6213, and burntH8313 it with fireH784, and stamped it, grindingH2912 it veryH5704 smallH3190, untilH5704 it was as fineH1854 as dustH6083: and I castH7993 the dustH6083 thereof intoH413 the brookH5158 that descendedH3381 outH4480 of the mountH2022. 22And at TaberahH8404, and at MassahH4532, and at Kibroth-hattaavahH6914, ye provokedH7107 the LORDH3068 to wrathH7107. 23And when the LORDH3068 sentH7971 youH834 from Kadesh-barneaH6947, sayingH559, GoH5927 upH5927 and possessH3423 the landH776 whichH834 I have givenH5414 youH834; then ye rebelledH4784 againstH5927 the commandmentH6310 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and ye believedH539 him notH3808, norH3808 hearkened to his voiceH6963. 24Ye have been rebelliousH4784 againstH5973 the LORDH3068 from the dayH3117 that I knewH3045 youH3117. 25SoH834 I fellH5307 downH5307 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 the fortyH705 daysH3117 and fortyH705 nightsH3915 that I fellH5307 downH5307; becauseH3588 the LORDH3068 had saidH559 he would destroyH8045 youH834. 26And I prayedH6419 unto the LORDH3068, and saidH559, O LordH3068 GODH3068, destroyH7843 notH408 thy peopleH5971 and thine inheritanceH5159, whichH834 thou hast redeemedH6299 throughH3027 thy greatnessH1433, whichH834 thou hast broughtH3318 forthH3318 outH3318 of EgyptH4714 with a mightyH2389 handH3027. 27RememberH2142 thy servantsH5650, AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and JacobH3290; lookH6437 notH408 unto the stubbornnessH7190 of this peopleH5971, norH408 to their wickednessH7562, norH408 to their sinH2403: 28lestH6435 the landH776 whence thou broughtest usH413 outH3318 sayH559, BecauseH834 the LORDH3068 was notH3201 ableH3201 to bringH935 them intoH413 the landH776 whichH834 he promisedH1696 unto them, and becauseH834 he hatedH8135 them, he hath broughtH935 them outH3318 to slayH4191 them in the wildernessH4057. 29Yet they are thy peopleH5971 and thine inheritanceH5159, whichH834 thou broughtest outH3318 by thy greatH1419 powerH2220 and by thy stretchedH5186 outH3318 armH2220.
