Deuteronomy 9:6-8

New American Standard Bible

⁶ “Know, then, that it is not because of your righteousness that the Lord your God is giving you this good land to possess, for you are ^(A)a ^[a]stubborn people. ⁷ Remember, do not forget how you provoked the Lord your God to anger in the wilderness; ^(B)from the day that you left the land of Egypt until you arrived at this place, you have been rebellious against the Lord. ⁸ Even ^(C)at Horeb you provoked the Lord to anger, and the Lord was so angry with you that He would have destroyed you.
