Ikke for din rettferdighet eller for hjertets oppriktighet går du inn for å ta deres land; men for disse nasjonenes ondskap driver Herren deres Gud dem ut foran dere, og for å stadfeste ordet som Herren sverget til fedrene deres, Abraham, Isak og Jakob.
Not for your righteousness, or for the uprightness of your heart, do you go in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations Yahweh your God does drive them out from before you, and that he may establish the word which Yahweh swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
