Deuteronomy 9:5-7
New International Reader's Version
Deuteronomy 9:5-7
New International Reader's Version
5 You are not going in to take over their land because you have done what is right or honest. It’s because those nations are so evil. That’s why the Lord your God will drive them out to make room for you. He will do what he said he would do. He made a promise to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. 6 The Lord your God is giving you this good land to take as your own. But you must understand that it isn’t because you are a godly nation. In fact, you are stubborn.

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)
