Deuteronomy 9:2-4
Lexham English Bible
2 a great and tall people, the sons of the Anakites, whom you know and of whom you have heard it said, ‘Who could stand before the sons of Anak?’ 3 You should know today[a] that Yahweh your God is the one crossing ahead of you[b] as a devouring fire; he will destroy them, and he will subdue them before you; so you will dispossess them, and you will destroy them quickly, just as[c] Yahweh promised[d] you.
4 “You shall not say to yourself[e] when Yahweh your God is driving them out[f] before you,[g] saying,[h] ‘Because of my righteousness Yahweh brought me to take possession of this land’; but because of the wickedness of these nations Yahweh is driving them out before you.[i]
