Deuteronomy 9:25-29
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
25 “Throughout the forty days and forty nights that I lay prostrate before the Lord when the Lord intended to destroy you,(A) 26 I prayed to the Lord and said, ‘Lord God, do not destroy your people, your very own possession, whom you redeemed in your greatness, whom you brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.(B) 27 Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; pay no attention to the stubbornness of this people, their wickedness and their sin, 28 lest the land from which you have brought us say, “Because the Lord was not able to bring them into the land that he promised them and because he hated them, he has brought them out to let them die in the wilderness.” 29 For they are your people, your very own possession, whom you brought out by your great power and by your outstretched arm.’(C)

New American Standard Bible
25 “(A)So I fell down before the Lord for the forty days and nights, which I [a]did because the Lord said He would destroy you. 26 (B)And I prayed to the Lord and said, ‘Lord God, do not destroy Your people, Your inheritance, whom You have redeemed through Your greatness, whom You have brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand! 27 Remember Your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; do not turn Your attention to the stubbornness of this people, or to their wickedness, or their sin. 28 Otherwise, the people of the land from which You brought us will say, “(C)Since the Lord was not able to bring them into the land which He had [b]promised them, and since He hated them, He has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness!” 29 Yet they are Your people, and (D)Your inheritance, whom You brought out by Your (E)great power and Your outstretched arm.’
