Deuteronomy 9:4-5

Not Because of Righteousness

⁴ _c "Do not say in your heart, after the Lord your God has thrust them out before you, 'It is because of my righteousness that the Lord has brought me in to possess this land,' whereas it is _d because of the wickedness of these nations that the Lord is driving them out before you. ⁵ _e Not because of your righteousness or the uprightness of your heart are you going in to possess their land, but because of the wickedness of these nations the Lord your God is driving them out from before you, and that he may confirm _f the word that the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
