Deuteronomy 9:28-29

Amplified Bible

²⁸ so that the [people of the] land from which You brought us will not say, “Because the Lord was not capable of bringing them into the land which He had promised them and because He hated them He has brought them out to the wilderness [in order] to kill them.” ²⁹ Yet they are Your people and Your inheritance, whom You have brought out by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm.’
