9 Heyr Ísrael! Þú fer nú í dag yfir Jórdan til þess að leggja undir þig þjóðir, sem eru stærri og voldugri en þú ert, stórar borgir og víggirtar hátt í loft upp,
2 stórt og hávaxið fólk, Anakítana, sem þú þekkir og hefir sjálfur heyrt sagt um: "Hver fær staðist fyrir Anaks sonum?"
3 Vit það því nú, að það er Drottinn Guð þinn, er fyrir þér fer sem eyðandi eldur. Hann mun eyða þeim og leggja þær að velli fyrir augliti þínu, svo að þú skjótlega getir rekið þær burt og gjöreytt þeim, eins og Drottinn hefir heitið þér.
4 Þegar Drottinn Guð þinn hefir rekið þær á burt undan þér, þá mátt þú ekki segja í hjarta þínu: "Sökum míns eigin réttlætis hefir Drottinn leitt mig inn í þetta land og fengið mér það til eignar," þar eð það er vegna guðleysis þessara þjóða, að Drottinn stökkvir þeim á burt undan þér.
5 Það er ekki vegna réttlætis þíns eða hreinskilni hjarta þíns, að þú fær land þeirra til eignar, heldur er það vegna guðleysis þessara þjóða, að Drottinn Guð þinn stökkvir þeim á burt undan þér, og til þess að halda það loforð, er Drottinn sór feðrum þínum, Abraham, Ísak og Jakob.
6 Vita skaltu því, að það er ekki vegna réttlætis þíns, að Drottinn, Guð þinn, gefur þér þetta góða land til eignar, því að þú ert harðsvíraður lýður.
7 Minnstu þess og gleym því eigi, hvernig þú reittir Drottin Guð þinn til reiði í eyðimörkinni. Frá því þú fyrst lagðir af stað úr Egyptalandi og þar til, er þér komuð hingað, hafið þér óhlýðnast Drottni.
8 Hjá Hóreb reittuð þér Drottin til reiði, og Drottinn reiddist yður svo, að hann ætlaði að tortíma yður.
9 Ég var þá farinn upp á fjallið til þess að taka á móti steintöflunum, töflunum, sem sáttmálinn var á, er Drottinn hafði gjört við yður, og ég dvaldi á fjallinu í fjörutíu daga og fjörutíu nætur, án þess að neyta matar eða drekka vatn.
10 Drottinn fékk mér tvær steintöflur, ritaðar með fingri Guðs, og á þeim voru öll þau orð, er Drottinn hafði talað til yðar á fjallinu út úr eldinum, daginn sem þér voruð þar saman komnir.
11 Og er fjörutíu dagar og fjörutíu nætur voru liðnar, fékk Drottinn mér báðar steintöflurnar, sáttmálstöflurnar.
12 Drottinn sagði við mig: "Statt þú upp, far þú skjótt niður héðan, því að fólk þitt, sem þú leiddir burt af Egyptalandi, hefir misgjört. Skjótt hafa þeir vikið af þeim vegi, sem ég bauð þeim; þeir hafa gjört sér steypt líkneski."
13 Og hann sagði við mig: "Ég sé nú, að þessi lýður er harðsvírað fólk.
14 Lát mig í friði, svo að ég geti gjöreytt þeim og afmáð nöfn þeirra undir himninum, og ég mun gjöra þig að sterkari og fjölmennari þjóð en þessi er."
15 Þá sneri ég á leið og gekk ofan af fjallinu, en fjallið stóð í björtu báli, og hélt ég á báðum sáttmálstöflunum í höndunum.
16 Og ég leit til, og sjá: Þér höfðuð syndgað móti Drottni, Guði yðar, þér höfðuð gjört yður steyptan kálf og höfðuð þannig skjótt vikið af þeim vegi, sem Drottinn hafði boðið yður.
17 Þá þreif ég báðar töflurnar og þeytti þeim af báðum höndum og braut þær í sundur fyrir augunum á yður.
18 Og ég varp mér niður fyrir augliti Drottins, eins og hið fyrra sinnið, fjörutíu daga og fjörutíu nætur, og át ekki brauð og drakk ekki vatn, vegna allra yðar synda, sem þér höfðuð drýgt með því að gjöra það, sem illt var í augum Drottins, svo að þér egnduð hann til reiði.
19 Því að ég var hræddur við þá reiði og heift, sem Drottinn bar til yðar, að hann ætlaði að tortíma yður. Og Drottinn bænheyrði mig einnig í þetta sinn.
20 Drottinn reiddist einnig mjög Aroni, svo að hann ætlaði að tortíma honum, en ég bað og fyrir Aroni í það sama sinn.
21 En synd yðar, kálfinn, sem þér höfðuð gjört, tók ég og brenndi í eldi og muldi hann vandlega í smátt, uns hann varð að fínu dufti, og duftinu kastaði ég í lækinn, sem rann þar ofan af fjallinu.
22 Enn fremur reittuð þér Drottin til reiði í Tabera, í Massa og hjá Kibrót-hattava.
23 Og þegar Drottinn sendi yður frá Kades Barnea og sagði: "Farið og takið til eignar landið, sem ég hefi gefið yður," þá óhlýðnuðust þér skipun Drottins Guðs yðar og trúðuð honum ekki og hlýdduð ekki raustu hans.
24 Þér hafið verið Drottni óhlýðnir frá því ég þekkti yður fyrst.
25 Svo féll ég fram fyrir augliti Drottins þá fjörutíu daga og fjörutíu nætur, sem ég varp mér niður, því að hann kvaðst mundu tortíma yður.
26 Og ég bað Drottin og sagði: "Drottinn Guð! Eyðilegg eigi þinn lýð og þína eign, sem þú frelsaðir með þínum mikla krafti, sem þú út leiddir af Egyptalandi með voldugri hendi.
27 Minnstu þjóna þinna, Abrahams, Ísaks og Jakobs! Lít ekki á þvermóðsku þessa fólks, guðleysi þess og synd,
28 svo að menn geti eigi sagt í landi því, sem þú leiddir oss út úr: ,Af því að Drottinn megnaði eigi að leiða þá inn í landið, sem hann hafði heitið þeim, og af því að hann hataði þá, hefir hann farið með þá burt til þess að láta þá deyja í eyðimörkinni.`
29 Því að þín þjóð eru þeir og þín eign, sem þú út leiddir með miklum mætti þínum og útréttum armlegg þínum."

Not Because of Israel’s Righteousness
9 Hear, Israel: You are now about to cross the Jordan(A) to go in and dispossess nations greater and stronger than you,(B) with large cities(C) that have walls up to the sky.(D) 2 The people are strong and tall—Anakites! You know about them and have heard it said: “Who can stand up against the Anakites?”(E) 3 But be assured today that the Lord your God is the one who goes across ahead of you(F) like a devouring fire.(G) He will destroy them; he will subdue them before you. And you will drive them out and annihilate them quickly,(H) as the Lord has promised you.
4 After the Lord your God has driven them out before you, do not say to yourself,(I) “The Lord has brought me here to take possession of this land because of my righteousness.” No, it is on account of the wickedness(J) of these nations(K) that the Lord is going to drive them out before you. 5 It is not because of your righteousness or your integrity(L) that you are going in to take possession of their land; but on account of the wickedness(M) of these nations,(N) the Lord your God will drive them out(O) before you, to accomplish what he swore(P) to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.(Q) 6 Understand, 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 stiff-necked people.(R)
The Golden Calf
7 Remember this and never forget how you aroused the anger(S) of the Lord your God in the wilderness. From the day you left Egypt until you arrived here, you have been rebellious(T) against the Lord.(U) 8 At Horeb you aroused the Lord’s wrath(V) so that he was angry enough to destroy you.(W) 9 When I went up on the mountain to receive the tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant(X) that the Lord had made with you, I stayed on the mountain forty days(Y) and forty nights; I ate no bread and drank no water.(Z) 10 The Lord gave me two stone tablets inscribed by the finger of God.(AA) On them were all the commandments the Lord proclaimed to you on the mountain out of the fire, on the day of the assembly.(AB)
11 At the end of the forty days and forty nights,(AC) the Lord gave me the two stone tablets,(AD) the tablets of the covenant. 12 Then the Lord told me, “Go down from here at once, because your people whom you brought out of Egypt have become corrupt.(AE) They have turned away quickly(AF) from what I commanded them and have made an idol for themselves.”
13 And the Lord said to me, “I have seen this people(AG), and they are a stiff-necked people indeed! 14 Let me alone,(AH) so that I may destroy them and blot out(AI) their name from under heaven.(AJ) And I will make you into a nation stronger and more numerous than they.”
15 So I turned and went down from the mountain while it was ablaze with fire. And the two tablets of the covenant were in my hands.(AK) 16 When I looked, I saw that you had sinned against the Lord your God; you had made for yourselves an idol cast in the shape of a calf.(AL) You had turned aside quickly from the way that the Lord had commanded you. 17 So I took the two tablets and threw them out of my hands, breaking them to pieces before your eyes.
18 Then once again I fell(AM) prostrate before the Lord for forty days and forty nights; I ate no bread and drank no water,(AN) because of all the sin you had committed,(AO) doing what was evil in the Lord’s sight and so arousing his anger. 19 I feared the anger and wrath of the Lord, for he was angry enough with you to destroy you.(AP) But again the Lord listened to me.(AQ) 20 And the Lord was angry enough with Aaron to destroy him, but at that time I prayed for Aaron too. 21 Also I took that sinful thing of yours, the calf you had made, and burned it in the fire. Then I crushed it and ground it to powder as fine as dust(AR) and threw the dust into a stream that flowed down the mountain.(AS)
22 You also made the Lord angry(AT) at Taberah,(AU) at Massah(AV) and at Kibroth Hattaavah.(AW)
23 And when the Lord sent you out from Kadesh Barnea,(AX) he said, “Go up and take possession(AY) of the land I have given you.” But you rebelled(AZ) against the command of the Lord your God. You did not trust(BA) him or obey him. 24 You have been rebellious against the Lord ever since I have known you.(BB)
25 I lay prostrate before the Lord those forty days and forty nights(BC) because the Lord had said he would destroy you.(BD) 26 I prayed to the Lord and said, “Sovereign Lord, do not destroy your people,(BE) your own inheritance(BF) that you redeemed(BG) by your great power and brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.(BH) 27 Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Overlook the stubbornness(BI) of this people, their wickedness and their sin. 28 Otherwise, the country(BJ) from which you brought us will say, ‘Because the Lord was not able to take them into the land he had promised them, and because he hated them,(BK) he brought them out to put them to death in the wilderness.’(BL) 29 But they are your people,(BM) your inheritance(BN) that you brought out by your great power and your outstretched arm.(BO)”

Deuteronomy 9
King James Version
9 Hear, O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven,
2 A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak!
3 Understand therefore this day, that the Lord thy God is he which goeth over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the Lord hath said unto thee.
4 Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the Lord thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the Lord hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the Lord doth drive them out from before thee.
5 Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
6 Understand therefore, that the Lord thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people.
7 Remember, and forget not, how thou provokedst the Lord thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against the Lord.
8 Also in Horeb ye provoked the Lord to wrath, so that the Lord was angry with you to have destroyed you.
9 When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which the Lord made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink water:
10 And the Lord delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words, which the Lord spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.
11 And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the Lord gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.
12 And the Lord said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.
13 Furthermore the Lord spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
14 Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.
15 So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.
16 And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the Lord your God, and had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which the Lord had commanded you.
17 And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes.
18 And I fell down before the Lord, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
19 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the Lord was wroth against you to destroy you. But the Lord hearkened unto me at that time also.
20 And the Lord was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also the same time.
21 And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, and ground it very small, even until it was as small as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount.
22 And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibrothhattaavah, ye provoked the Lord to wrath.
23 Likewise when the Lord sent you from Kadeshbarnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the commandment of the Lord your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice.
24 Ye have been rebellious against the Lord from the day that I knew you.
25 Thus I fell down before the Lord forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first; because the Lord had said he would destroy you.
26 I prayed therefore unto the Lord, and said, O Lord God, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
27 Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin:
28 Lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because the Lord was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.
29 Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out arm.
