Deuteronomy 9:1-3

New Century Version

The Lord Will Be with Israel

9 Listen, Israel. You will soon cross the Jordan River to go in and force out nations that are bigger and stronger than you. They have large cities with walls up to the sky. ² The people there are Anakites, who are strong and tall. You know about them, and you have heard it said: “No one can stop the Anakites.” ³ But today remember that the Lord your God goes in before you to destroy them like a fire that burns things up. He will defeat them ahead of you, and you will force them out and destroy them quickly, just as the Lord has said.
