2 Samuel 7:21Revised Standard Version (RSV-CI)Because of thy promise, and according to thy own heart, thou hast wrought all this greatness, to make thy servant know it. See the chapter |
Not because of your righteousness or the uprightness of your heart are you going in to possess their land; but because of the wickedness of these nations the Lord your God is driving them out from before you, and that he may confirm the word which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
