Deuteronomy 9:6

Detailed Stipulations

⁵ Not for your righteousness or because your hearts are upright are you going in to take their land; but because of the evil-doing of these nations the Lord your God is driving them out from before you, and to give effect to his oath to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. ⁶ Be certain then that the Lord your God is not giving you this good land as a reward for your righteousness; for you are a stiff-necked people. ⁷ Keep well in mind how you made the Lord your God angry in the waste land; from the day when you went out of Egypt till you came to this place, you have gone against the orders of the Lord.
