Deuteronomy 9:17
chevron_left

1
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 have made them a molten image.
13
Furthermore the
L
ORD
spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it
is
a stiffnecked people:
14
Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.
15
So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the covenant
were
in my two hands.
16
And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the
L
ORD
your God,
and
had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which the
L
ORD
had commanded you.
And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes.
18
And I fell down before the
L
ORD
, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the
L
ORD
, to provoke him to anger.
19
For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the
L
ORD
was wroth against you to destroy you. But the
L
ORD
hearkened unto me at that time also.
20
And the
L
ORD
was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also the same time.
21
And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it,
and
ground
it
very small,
even
until it was as small as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount.
22
And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah, ye provoked the
L
ORD
to wrath.
23
Likewise when the
L
ORD
sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the commandment of the
L
ORD
your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice.
24
Ye have been rebellious against the
L
ORD
from the day that I knew you.
25
Thus I fell down before the
L
ORD
forty days and forty nights, as I fell down
at the first;
because the
L
ORD
had said he would destroy you.
26
I prayed therefore unto the
L
ORD
, and said, O Lord
G
OD
, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
27
Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin:
28
Lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because the
L
ORD
was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.
29
Yet they
are
thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out arm.
