Basic HTML Version
fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and
that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;
17
And thou say in thine heart, My power
and the might of
mine
hand hath gotten me this wealth.
18
But thou shalt remember the L
ORD
thy
God: for
it is
he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he
sware unto thy fathers, as
it is
this day.
19
And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the L
ORD
thy God,
and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye
shall surely perish.
20
As the nations which the L
ORD
destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish;
because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the L
ORD
your God.
CHAPTER 9
Hear, O Israel: Thou
art
to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier
than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven,
2
A people great and tall, the children of the
Anakims, whom thou knowest, and
of whom
thou hast heard
say,
Who can stand before the children
of Anak!
3
Understand therefore this day, that the L
ORD
thy God
is
he which goeth over before thee;
as
a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt
thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the L
ORD
hath said unto thee.
4
Speak not thou
in thine heart, after that the L
ORD
thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my
righteousness the L
ORD
hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these
nations the L
ORD
doth drive them out from before thee.
5
Not for thy righteousness, or for the
uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations
the L
ORD
thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which
the L
ORD
sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
6
Understand therefore, that the L
ORD
thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou
art
a stiffnecked
people.
7
Remember,
and
forget not, how thou provokedst the L
ORD
thy God to wrath in the wilderness:
from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have
been rebellious against the L
ORD
.
8
Also in Horeb ye provoked the L
ORD
to wrath, so that the L
ORD
was angry with you to have destroyed you.
9
When I was gone up into the mount to receive the
tables of stone,
even
the tables of the covenant which the L
ORD
made with you, then I abode in the
mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink water:
10
And the L
ORD
delivered
unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them
was written
according to
all the words, which the L
ORD
spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day
of the assembly.
11
And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights,
that
the L
ORD
gave
me the two tables of stone,
even
the tables of the covenant.
12
And the L
ORD
said unto me, Arise,
get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have
corrupted
themselves;
they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they
