Deuteronomy 9:5Deut.9.5

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 LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Non, ce n'est point à cause de ta justice et de la droiture de ton coeur que tu entres en possession de leur pays; mais c'est à cause de la méchanceté de ces nations que l'Eternel, ton Dieu, les chasse devant toi, et c'est pour confirmer la parole que l'Eternel a jurée à tes pères, à Abraham, à Isaac et à Jacob.
