Deuteronomy:7:1-9:6

vw@Deuteronomy:7:1 @ When Jehovah your God brings you into the land which you are going in to possess, and has cast out many nations before you, the Hittites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Canaanites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than you,

vw@Deuteronomy:7:2 @ and when Jehovah your God has delivered them over to you, you shall strike them and destroy to exterminate them. You shall make no covenant with them nor show mercy unto them.

vw@Deuteronomy:7:3 @ Nor shall you make marriages with them. You shall not give your daughter to their son, nor take their daughter for your son.

vw@Deuteronomy:7:4 @ For they will turn your sons away from following Me, to serve other gods; and the anger of Jehovah will burn against you and quickly destroy you.

vw@Deuteronomy:7:5 @ But thus you shall deal with them: you shall break down their altars, and shatter their pillars, and chop down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.

vw@Deuteronomy:7:6 @ For you are a holy people unto Jehovah your God; Jehovah your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure out of all the peoples upon the face of the earth.

vw@Deuteronomy:7:7 @ Jehovah did not set His love upon you nor choose you because you were more in number than any other people, for you were the least of all peoples;

vw@Deuteronomy:7:8 @ but because Jehovah loves you, and to keep the oath which He has sworn to your fathers, Jehovah has brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

vw@Deuteronomy:7:9 @ Therefore know that Jehovah your God, He is God, the faithful Mighty God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments;

vw@Deuteronomy:7:10 @ and He repays those who hate Him, to their face, to destroy them. He will not be slack with him who hates Him; He will repay him to his face.

vw@Deuteronomy:7:11 @ Therefore you shall keep the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments which I am commanding you today, to do them.

vw@Deuteronomy:7:12 @ Then it shall come to pass, because you obey these judgments, and keep and do them, that Jehovah your God will keep with you the covenant and the mercy which He has sworn to your fathers.

vw@Deuteronomy:7:13 @ And He will love you and bless you and multiply you; He will also bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your land, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the offspring of your cattle and the increase of your flock, in the land of which He has sworn to your fathers to give you.

vw@Deuteronomy:7:14 @ You shall be blessed above all peoples; there shall not be sterility or barrenness among you or among your livestock.

vw@Deuteronomy:7:15 @ And Jehovah will take away from you all sickness, and will afflict you with none of the terrible diseases of Egypt which you have known, but will lay them on all those who hate you.

vw@Deuteronomy:7:16 @ And you shall destroy all the peoples whom Jehovah your God is delivering over to you; your eye shall have no pity on them; nor shall you serve their gods, for that would be a snare to you.

vw@Deuteronomy:7:17 @ If you should think in your heart, These nations are greater than I; how can I dispossess them?

vw@Deuteronomy:7:18 @ you shall not be afraid of them, but you shall call to mind to remember what Jehovah your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt:

vw@Deuteronomy:7:19 @ the great trials which your eyes have seen, the signs and the wonders, the mighty hand and the outstretched arm, by which Jehovah your God has brought you out. Thus shall Jehovah your God do to all the peoples of whom you are afraid.

vw@Deuteronomy:7:20 @ Moreover Jehovah your God will send the hornet among them, for those who are left, who hide themselves from your face, to perish.

vw@Deuteronomy:7:21 @ You shall not be terrified of them; for Jehovah your God, the great and awesome Mighty God, is among you.

vw@Deuteronomy:7:22 @ And Jehovah your God will clear away those nations before you little by little; you shall not prevail to destroy them all at once, lest the beasts of the field become too numerous for you.

vw@Deuteronomy:7:23 @ But Jehovah your God will deliver them over to you, and will defeat them with great confusion to annihilate them.

vw@Deuteronomy:7:24 @ And He will deliver their kings into your hand, and you shall destroy their name from under the heavens; no one shall be able to stand against you until you have destroyed them.

vw@Deuteronomy:7:25 @ You shall burn the graven images of their gods with fire; you shall not covet the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it for yourselves, lest you be snared by it; for it is an abomination to Jehovah your God.

vw@Deuteronomy:7:26 @ Nor shall you bring an abomination into your house, lest you be utterly destroyed like it. You shall detest it unto abomination and loathe it unto abhorrence, for it is a prohibited thing.

vw@Deuteronomy:8:1 @ Every commandment which I am commanding you today you shall take heed to do, that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land of which Jehovah has sworn to your fathers.

vw@Deuteronomy:8:2 @ And you shall remember that Jehovah your God has led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not.

vw@Deuteronomy:8:3 @ And He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you had not known nor had your fathers known, to make you know that man does not live by bread alone; but man lives by every Word that proceeds from the mouth of Jehovah.

vw@Deuteronomy:8:4 @ Your garments did not wear out on you, nor did your foot swell these forty years.

vw@Deuteronomy:8:5 @ You have come to know in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so Jehovah your God chastens you.

vw@Deuteronomy:8:6 @ Therefore you shall keep the commandments of Jehovah your God, to walk in His ways and to fear Him.

vw@Deuteronomy:8:7 @ For Jehovah your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills;

vw@Deuteronomy:8:8 @ a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey;

vw@Deuteronomy:8:9 @ a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you shall lack nothing; a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills you can dig copper.

vw@Deuteronomy:8:10 @ When you have eaten and been filled, then you shall bless Jehovah your God for the good land which He has given you.

vw@Deuteronomy:8:11 @ Beware that you do not forget Jehovah your God by not keeping His commandments, His judgments, and His statutes which I am commanding you today,

vw@Deuteronomy:8:12 @ lest, when you have eaten and been filled, and have built beautiful houses and dwelt in them;

vw@Deuteronomy:8:13 @ and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold are multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied;

vw@Deuteronomy:8:14 @ when your heart is lifted up, and you forget Jehovah your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;

vw@Deuteronomy:8:15 @ who led you through the great and terrible wilderness, with the fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty land with no water; who has brought water for you out of the rock of flint;

vw@Deuteronomy:8:16 @ who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers had not known, to humble you and to test you, to do you good in the end;

vw@Deuteronomy:8:17 @ you say in your heart, My power and the might of my hand have acquired me this wealth.

vw@Deuteronomy:8:18 @ But you shall remember Jehovah your God, for it is He who gives you power to acquire wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He has sworn to your fathers, as it is this day.

vw@Deuteronomy:8:19 @ And it shall be, if you cease caring, to forget Jehovah your God, and have walked after other gods, and have served them and bowed down to them, I testify against you this day that you shall perish to extermination.

vw@Deuteronomy:8:20 @ As the nations which Jehovah is destroying before you, so you shall perish, because you would not obey the voice of Jehovah your God.

vw@Deuteronomy:9:1 @ Hear, O Israel: You are crossing over the Jordan today, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fortified up to the heavens,

vw@Deuteronomy:9:2 @ a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you have known, and of whom you have heard it said, Who can stand before the sons of Anak?

vw@Deuteronomy:9:3 @ Therefore understand today that Jehovah your God is He who goes over before you as a consuming fire. He will destroy them and bring them down before you; thus you shall dispossess them and destroy them quickly, as Jehovah has spoken to you.

vw@Deuteronomy:9:4 @ Do not think in your heart, after Jehovah your God has cast them out before you, saying, Because of my righteousness Jehovah has brought me in to possess this land; but it is because of the wickedness of these nations that Jehovah is driving them out before you.

vw@Deuteronomy:9:5 @ It is not because of your righteousness or the uprightness of your heart that you are going in to possess their land, but because of the wickedness of these nations that Jehovah your God is driving them out before you, and that He may fulfill the word which Jehovah has sworn to your fathers; to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

vw@Deuteronomy:9:6 @ Therefore understand that Jehovah your God is not giving you this good land to possess because of your righteousness, for you are a stiff-necked people.
