Deuteronomy 9:5-7
Legacy Standard Bible
5 It is (A)not for your righteousness or for the uprightness of your heart that you are going to possess their land, but it is because of the wickedness of these nations that Yahweh your God is dispossessing them before you, in order to confirm (B)the [a]oath which Yahweh swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
6 “So you shall know it is not because of your righteousness that Yahweh your God is giving you this good land to possess, for you are (C)a [b]stiff-necked people. 7 Remember, do not forget how you provoked Yahweh your God to wrath in the wilderness; (D)from the day that you went out of the land of Egypt until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against Yahweh.
