Deuteronomy 9:6-8

New Living Translation

⁶ You must recognize that the Lord your God is not giving you this good land because you are good, for you are not—you are a stubborn people.

Remembering the Gold Calf

⁷ “Remember and never forget how angry you made the Lord your God out in the wilderness. From the day you left Egypt until now, you have been constantly rebelling against him. ⁸ Even at Mount Sinai^[a] you made the Lord so angry he was ready to destroy you.
