Deuteronomy 11:23New English Translationthen he will drive out all these nations ahead of you, and you will dispossess nations greater and stronger than you. See the chapter |
It is not because of your righteousness, or even your inner uprightness, that you have come here to possess their land. Instead, because of the wickedness of these nations the Lord your God is driving them out ahead of you in order to confirm the promise he made on oath to your ancestors, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
