Deuteronomy 9:5

Study

       

5 For it is not for thy justices, and the uprightness of thy heart that thou shalt go in to possess their lands: but because they have done wickedly, they are destroyed at thy coming in: and that the Lord might accomplish his word, which he promised by oath to thy fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Commentary on this verse  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 5. Not for any merit of your, nor for any integrity in your own heart, are you introduced into the heavenly states which come from their destruction; but because of the horrible wickedness of these evils the Divine Love and Wisdom drive them out from the interiors of your soul that He may have compassion upon you, as promised in the Word to all who receive good from Him, whether in the celestial, spiritual, or natural degree of the mind. (See note, Chapter 1, verse 8.)
