Deuteronomy Chapter 9, Verse 5
From BibleWiki
5: Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine
heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the
wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them
out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which
the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
5: For it is not for thy justices, and the uprightness of thy heart
that thou shalt go in to possess their lands: but because they have done
wickedly, they are destroyed at thy coming in: and that the Lord might
aaccomplish his word, which he promised by oath to thy fathers Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob.
5: Not for thy righteousness, nor for the holiness of thy heart, dost thou go in to inherit their land, but because of the wickedness of these nations the Lord will destroy them from before thee, and that he may establish the covenant, which the Lord sware to our fathers, to Abraam, and to Isaac, and to Jacob.
