Deuteronomy 9:5-7

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁵ You are not entering to take possession of their land because of your righteousness or the uprightness of your heart, but because of the wickedness of these nations. The Lord your God is handing over their land to you, in order to confirm the promise that the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

⁶ Know, then, that it is not because of your righteousness that the Lord your God is giving you this good land to possess, because a stiff-necked people^[a] is what you are. ⁷ Remember and do not forget how you made the Lord your God angry in the wilderness. From the day that you went out of the land of Egypt until your arrival at this place, you have been rebels against the Lord.
