Deuteronomy 9:5 in Context — Deuteronomy 9
3 Sabe, pois, hoje que o SENHOR teu Deus é o que passa diante de ti, fogo consumidor, que os destruirá e humilhará diante de ti: e tu os expulsarás, e os destruirás logo, como o SENHOR te disse.
4 Não digas em teu coração quando o SENHOR teu Deus os haverá expulsado de diante de ti, dizendo: Por minha justiça me pôs o SENHOR a possuir esta terra; pois pela impiedade destas nações o SENHOR as expulsa de diante de ti.
5 Não por tua justiça, nem pela retidão de teu coração entras a possuir a terra deles; mas pela impiedade destas nações o SENHOR teu Deus as expulsa de diante de ti, e para confirmar a palavra que o SENHOR jurou a teus pais Abraão, Isaque, e Jacó.
6 Portanto, sabe que não por tua justiça o SENHOR teu Deus te dá esta boa terra para possuí-la; que povo duro de cerviz és tu.
7 Lembra-te, não te esqueças que provocaste a ira ao SENHOR teu Deus no deserto: desde o dia que saíste da terra do Egito, até que entrastes neste lugar, fostes rebeldes ao SENHOR.
