Deuteronomy 9:5 in Context — Deuteronomy 9
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.
7 Souviens-toi, n’oublie pas de quelle manière tu as excité la colère de l’Éternel, ton Dieu, dans le désert. Depuis le jour où tu es sorti du pays d’Égypte jusqu’à votre arrivée dans ce lieu, vous avez été rebelles contre l’Éternel.
