Deuteronomy:9:4-6
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Thou must not say in thy heart ,
when the Lord thy God doth cast them out from before thee ,
as followeth ,
For my righteousness hath the Lord brought me in to possess this land ;
and that for the wickedness of these nations the Lord doth drive them out from before thee .
*
Not for thy righteousness ,
nor for the uprightness of thy heart ,
dost thou go in to possess their land ;
but for the wickedness of these nations doth the Lord thy God drive them out from before thee ,
and in order that he may fulfill the word which the Lord hath sworn unto thy fathers ,
to Abraham ,
to Isaac ,
and to Jacob .
*
And thou shalt know ,
that not for thy righteousness doth the Lord thy God give unto thee this good land to possess it ;
for thou art a stiff
necked people .
