Deuteronomy 9:3-5
EasyEnglish Bible
3 But you must understand this: The Lord your God is leading you across the river. He is like a fire that destroys everything! He will win against your enemies. He will give you power over them. Then you will chase them away and remove them quickly. The Lord has promised you that this will happen.
4 The Lord your God will chase them away. After he has done that, be careful! Do not say to yourselves, ‘The Lord has brought us into this land because we do right things.’
No! It is because these nations are doing wicked things. That is why the Lord is chasing them out of the land so that you can live there. 5 It is not because you are doing right things. It is not because you are good, honest people. That is not the reason that you will take their land for yourselves. Instead, it is because these nations are wicked people. That is why the Lord your God will chase them away as you move in there. He will do what he promised to your ancestors, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Deuteronomy 9:3-5
New International Version
3 But be assured today that the Lord your God is the one who goes across ahead of you(A) like a devouring fire.(B) He will destroy them; he will subdue them before you. And you will drive them out and annihilate them quickly,(C) as the Lord has promised you.
4 After the Lord your God has driven them out before you, do not say to yourself,(D) “The Lord has brought me here to take possession of this land because of my righteousness.” No, it is on account of the wickedness(E) of these nations(F) that the Lord is going to drive them out before you. 5 It is not because of your righteousness or your integrity(G) that you are going in to take possession of their land; but on account of the wickedness(H) of these nations,(I) the Lord your God will drive them out(J) before you, to accomplish what he swore(K) to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.(L)
