Not for your righteousness, or for the uprightness of your heart, do you go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD your God does drive them out from before you, and that he may perform the word which the LORD swore unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Only the LORD had a delight in your fathers to love them, and he chose their descendants after them, even you above all people, as it is this day.

O you offspring of Abraham his servant, you children of Jacob his chosen.

But you, Israel, are my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the descendant of Abraham my friend.

At the same time, says the LORD, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.

I have loved you, says the LORD. Yet you say, How have you loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? says the LORD: yet I loved Jacob,

To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;

Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen.

And brought

And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which you came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten.

In his sight

For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. In this you have done foolishly: therefore from now on you shall have wars.

I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go: I will guide you with my eye.

The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.

With his

Or has God ever ventured to go and take him a nation from the midst of another nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

To him that struck Egypt in their firstborn: for his mercy endures forever:

Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Are you not him who has cut Rahab, and wounded the sea monster?

Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit within them?
