Deuteronomy 9:1-3

Good News Translation

The People's Disobedience

9 “Listen, people of Israel! Today you are about to cross the Jordan River and occupy the land belonging to nations greater and more powerful than you. Their cities are large, with walls that reach the sky. ² The people themselves are tall and strong; they are giants, and you have heard it said that no one can stand against them. ³ But now you will see for yourselves that the Lord your God will go ahead of you like a raging fire. He will defeat them as you advance, so that you will drive them out and destroy them quickly, as he promised.
