⁷ “^(A)Yahweh did not set His affection on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any of the peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples, ⁸ but because Yahweh loved you and kept the ^(B)oath which He swore to your fathers, ^(C)Yahweh brought you out with a strong hand and redeemed you from the house of ^[a]slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

⁵ It is ^(A)not for your righteousness or for the uprightness of your heart that you are going to possess their land, but it is because of the wickedness of these nations that Yahweh your God is dispossessing them before you, in order to confirm ^(B)the ^[a]oath which Yahweh swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

⁶ “So you shall know it is not because of your righteousness that Yahweh your God is giving you this good land to possess, for you are ^(C)a ^[b]stiff-necked people.

³² I am not doing this ^(A)for your sake,” declares Lord Yahweh, “let it be known to you. Be ashamed and feel dishonor for your ways, O house of Israel!”
