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.

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.'

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.
