Deuteronomy 9:6-8

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁶ Know, then, that it is not because of your righteousness that the Lord your God is giving you this good land to possess, because a stiff-necked people^[a] is what you are. ⁷ Remember and do not forget how you made the Lord your God angry in the wilderness. From the day that you went out of the land of Egypt until your arrival at this place, you have been rebels against the Lord. ⁸ Even at Horeb you made the Lord angry. Yes, the Lord was angry enough at you to destroy you.
