Deuteronomy 9:4-6

Revised Geneva Translation

⁴ “After the LORD your God has cast them out before you, do not speak in your heart, saying ‘Because of my righteousness the LORD has brought me in to possess this land.’ Rather, for the wickedness of these nations, the LORD has cast them out before you.

⁵ “For it is not because of your righteousness, or for their upright heart, that you inherit their land. But it is because of the wickedness of those nations that the LORD your God casts them out before you, and so that He might perform the Word which the LORD your God swore to your fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

⁶ “Understand, therefore, that the LORD your God does not give you this good land to possess it because of your righteousness. For you are a stiff-necked people.
