Deuteronomy 9:4-6

International Children’s Bible

⁴ The Lord your God will force those nations out ahead of you. After that, don’t say to yourself, “The Lord brought me here. I own this land because I am so good.” No! It is because these nations are evil. That is why the Lord will force them out ahead of you. ⁵ You are going in to own the land. But it is not because you are good and honest. It is because these nations are evil. That is why the Lord your God will force them out ahead of you. The Lord will keep his promise to your ancestors, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. ⁶ The Lord your God is giving you this good land to own. But know this: It is not because you are good. You are a stubborn people.
