Deuteronomy 9:28-29

International Standard Version

²⁸ Otherwise, the people of the land from which you brought us will say, “The Lord wasn’t able to bring them into the land that he had promised them. So he brought them out to kill them in the desert because he hated them.” ²⁹ But they are your people and inheritance, whom you brought out by your mighty strength^[a] and awesome power.’”
