Deuteronomy 20:18New King James Versionlest they teach you to do according to all their abominations which they have done for their gods, and you sin against the Lord your God. See the chapter |
It is not because of your righteousness or the uprightness of your heart that you go in to possess their land, but because of the wickedness of these nations that the Lord your God drives them out from before you, and that He may fulfill the word which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
