Deuteronomy 7:7-11
English Standard Version

7 It was not because you were more in number than any other people that the Lord set his love on you and chose you, for you were the fewest of all peoples, 8 but (A)it is because the Lord loves you and is keeping (B)the oath that he swore to your fathers, that the Lord has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. 9 Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, (C)the faithful God (D)who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations, 10 and (E)repays to their face those who hate him, by destroying them. (F)He will not be slack with one who hates him. He will repay him to his face. 11 (G)You shall therefore be careful to do the commandment and the statutes and the rules that I command 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.
