Deuteronomy 9:4-6

Christian Standard Bible

⁴ When the Lord your God drives them out before you, do not say to yourself, ‘The Lord brought me in to take possession of this land because of my righteousness.’^(A) Instead, the Lord will drive out these nations before you because of their wickedness.^{(B) 5} You are not going to take possession of their land because of your righteousness or your integrity. Instead, the Lord your God will drive out these nations before you because of their wickedness, in order to fulfill the promise he swore to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. ⁶ Understand that the Lord your God is not giving you this good land^(C) to possess because of your righteousness, for you are a stiff-necked people.^(D)
