Nay, but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD
doth cast them out before thee. It is not for thy righteousness'
sake and right heart that thou goest to possess their land: But
partly for the wickedness of these nations, the LORD thy God doth
cast them out before thee, and partly to perform that which the
LORD thy God sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Iacob.
Understand therefore that it is not for thy righteousness' sake,
that the LORD thy God doth give thee this good land to possess it,
for thou art a stiffnecked people. Remember and forget not how
thou provokedest the LORD thy God in the wilderness: for since the
day that thou camest out of the land of Egypt until ye came unto
this place, ye have rebelled against the LORD. Also in Horeb ye
angered the LORD so that the LORD was wroth with you, even to have
destroyed you, after that I was gone up into the mount, to fetch
the tables of stone, the tables of appointment which the LORD made
with you. And I abode in the hill forty days and forty nights and
neither ate bread nor drank water. And the LORD delivered me two
tables of stone written with the finger of God, and in them was
according to all the words which the LORD said unto you in the
mount out of the fire in the day when the people were gathered
together.
