Deuteronomy 9:1-3

New American Standard Bible

Israel Provoked God

9 “Hear, Israel! You are crossing the Jordan today, to go in to dispossess ^(A)nations greater and mightier than you, cities that are great and ^(B)fortified to heaven, ² a people who are great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you know and of whom you have heard it said, ‘^(C)Who can stand against the sons of Anak?’ ³ So be aware today that ^(D)it is the Lord your God who is crossing over ahead of you as ^(E)a consuming fire. He will destroy them and He will subdue them before you, so that ^(F)you may drive them out and eliminate them quickly, just as the Lord has spoken to you.
