5. You are going in to own the land. But it is not because you are good and honest. It is because these nations are evil. That is why the Lord your God will force them out ahead of you. The Lord will keep his promise to your ancestors, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
6. The Lord your God is giving you this good land to own. But know this: It is not because you are good. You are a stubborn people.
7. Remember this. Do not forget it. You made the Lord your God angry in the desert. You would not obey the Lord from the day you left Egypt until you arrived here.
8. At Mount Sinai you made the Lord angry. He was angry enough to destroy you.
