Deuteronomy 9:5

Studija

       

5 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.

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.)
