Deuteronomy 11:23Revised Standard Version (RSV-CI)then the Lord will drive out all these nations before you, and you will dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourselves. 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.
