Deuteronomy 9:3-5
Lexham English Bible

3 You should know today[a] that Yahweh your God is the one crossing ahead of you[b] as a devouring fire; he will destroy them, and he will subdue them before you; so you will dispossess them, and you will destroy them quickly, just as[c] Yahweh promised[d] you.

4 “You shall not say to yourself[e] when Yahweh your God is driving them out[f] before you,[g] saying,[h] ‘Because of my righteousness Yahweh brought me to take possession of this land’; but because of the wickedness of these nations Yahweh is driving them out before you.[i] 5 It is not because of your righteousness and because of the uprightness of your heart that you are coming to take possession of their land, but because of the wickedness of these nations Yahweh your God is driving them before you,[j] and in order to confirm the promise[k] that Yahweh swore to your ancestors,[l] to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
