Deuteronomy 7:7-11
Evangelical Heritage Version

7 The Lord became attached to you by love and has chosen you, not because you were more numerous than all the peoples. Actually you were the fewest of all the peoples. 8 But because of the Lord’s love for you and because he was keeping the oath that he swore to your fathers, that is why the Lord brought you out by a strong hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

9 He did this so that you would know that the Lord your God, yes, he is God, the faithful God who maintains both his covenant and his mercy for those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations. 10 But he also repays the ones who hate him to their face by destroying them. He will not delay repaying anyone who hates him. To his face he will fully repay him. 11 So you are to be careful to keep the set of commandments and the statutes and the ordinances that I am commanding you today.

Deuteronomy 7:7-11
Lexham English Bible

7 “Yahweh loved you and chose you not because of your great number[a] exceeding all other peoples, for you are fewer than all of the peoples, 8 but[b] because of[c] the love of Yahweh for you and because of his keeping of the sworn oath that he swore to your ancestors,[d] Yahweh brought you out with a strong hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. 9 So know that Yahweh your God, he is God, the trustworthy God, maintaining his[e] covenant and his[f] loyal love with those who love him and with those who keep his commandments to a thousand generations,[g] 10 but repaying those[h] who hate him in their own person[i] to destroy them;[j] he is not slow with those who hate him in their own person;[k] he repays them.[l] 11 And so you shall keep the commandment and the rules and the regulations that I am commanding you today[m] to observe them.
