Deuteronomy 9:2-4

New American Standard Bible 1995

² a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you know and of whom you have heard it said, ‘^(A)Who can stand before the sons of Anak?’ ³ Know therefore today that ^(B)it is the Lord your God who is crossing over before you as ^(C)a consuming fire. He will destroy them and He will subdue them before you, so that ^(D)you may drive them out and destroy them quickly, just as the Lord has spoken to you.

⁴ “^(E)Do not say in your heart when the Lord your God has driven them out before ^[a]you, ‘Because of my righteousness the Lord has brought me in to possess this land,’ but it is ^(F)because of the wickedness of these nations that the Lord is dispossessing them before you.
