Deuteronomy 9:5-7

New International Version

⁵ It is not because of your righteousness or your integrity^(A) that you are going in to take possession of their land; but on account of the wickedness^(B) of these nations,^(C) the Lord your God will drive them out^(D) before you, to accomplish what he swore^(E) to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.^{(F) 6} Understand, then, that it is not because of your righteousness that the Lord your God is giving you this good land to possess, for you are a stiff-necked people.^(G)

The Golden Calf

⁷ Remember this and never forget how you aroused the anger^(H) of the Lord your God in the wilderness. From the day you left Egypt until you arrived here, you have been rebellious^(I) against the Lord.^(J)
