Deuteronomy 9:4 in Context — Deuteronomy 9
2 d’un peuple grand et de haute taille, les enfants d’Anak, que tu connais, et dont tu as entendu dire: Qui pourra tenir contre les enfants d’Anak?
3 Sache aujourd’hui que l’Éternel, ton Dieu, marchera lui-même devant toi comme un feu dévorant, c’est lui qui les détruira, qui les humiliera devant toi; et tu les chasseras, tu les feras périr promptement, comme l’Éternel te l’a dit.
4 Lorsque l’Éternel, ton Dieu, les chassera devant toi, ne dis pas en ton cœur: C’est à cause de ma justice que l’Éternel me fait entrer en possession de ce pays. Car c’est à cause de la méchanceté de ces nations que l’Éternel les chasse devant toi.
5 Non, ce n’est point à cause de ta justice et de la droiture de ton cœur que tu entres en possession de leur pays; mais c’est à cause de la méchanceté de ces nations que l’Éternel, ton Dieu, les chasse devant toi, et c’est pour confirmer la parole que l’Éternel a jurée à tes pères, à Abraham, à Isaac et à Jacob.
6 Sache donc que ce n’est point à cause de ta justice que l’Éternel, ton Dieu, te donne ce bon pays pour que tu le possèdes; car tu es un peuple au cou roide.
