I told you at that time, "You have reached the hill country of the Amorites, which the LORD our God is about to give us.

Then these men set out, went up to the hill county, reached the Eshcol Valley, and surveyed it.

In the desert you saw that the LORD carried you like a man carries his son, on every road you traveled until you reached this place.'

Then you reached this place, where King Sihon of Heshbon and King Og of Bashan had come out to meet and fight with us, but we defeated them.

They provoked me to jealousy over non-gods, and to be angry over their vanity. Now I'll provoke them to jealousy over a non-people; and over a foolish nation I'll provoke them to anger.

For the LORD your God will bless you just as he promised. You are to lend to many nations but not borrow. Also, you will rule over many nations, but they will not rule over you."

You will certainly set a king over you, whom the LORD your God will choose from among your relatives, but you must not place a foreign king over you who is not from your relatives.

and the LORD told me, "You won't be crossing the Jordan River.' But the LORD your God is crossing over before you. He will destroy these nations in front of you and you will dispossess them. As for Joshua, he will cross over before you, just as the LORD promised.

They provoked him to jealousy over foreigners and to anger over detestable things.
