KJV_Strong : Deuteronomy 9
1. Hear,[H8085] O Israel:[H3478] Thou[H859] art to pass over[H5674] [H853] Jordan[H3383] this day,[H3117] to go in[H935] to possess[H3423] nations[H1471] greater[H1419] and mightier[H6099] than[H4480] thyself, cities[H5892] great[H1419] and fenced up[H1219] to heaven,[H8064]
2. A people[H5971] great[H1419] and tall,[H7311] the children[H1121] of the Anakims,[H6062] whom[H834] thou[H859] knowest,[H3045] and of whom thou[H859] hast heard[H8085] say, Who[H4310] can stand[H3320] before[H6440] the children[H1121] of Anak![H6061]
3. Understand[H3045] therefore this day,[H3117] that[H3588] the LORD[H3068] thy God[H430] is he[H1931] which goeth over[H5674] before[H6440] thee; as a consuming[H398] fire[H784] he[H1931] shall destroy[H8045] them, and he[H1931] shall bring them down[H3665] before thy face:[H6440] so shalt thou drive them out,[H3423] and destroy[H6] them quickly,[H4118] as[H834] the LORD[H3068] hath said[H1696] unto thee.
4. Speak[H559] not[H408] thou in thine heart,[H3824] after that the LORD[H3068] thy God[H430] hath cast them out[H1920] [H853] from before[H4480] [H6440] thee, saying,[H559] For my righteousness[H6666] the LORD[H3068] hath brought me in[H935] to possess[H3423] [H853] this[H2063] land:[H776] but for the wickedness[H7564] of these[H428] nations[H1471] the LORD[H3068] doth drive them out[H3423] from before[H4480] [H6440] thee.
5. Not[H3808] for thy righteousness,[H6666] or for the uprightness[H3476] of thine heart,[H3824] dost thou[H859] go[H935] to possess[H3423] [H853] their land:[H776] but[H3588] for the wickedness[H7564] of these[H428] nations[H1471] the LORD[H3068] thy God[H430] doth drive them out[H3423] from before[H4480] [H6440] thee, and that[H4616] he may perform[H6965] [H853] the word[H1697] which[H834] the LORD[H3068] swore[H7650] unto thy fathers,[H1] Abraham,[H85] Isaac,[H3327] and Jacob.[H3290]
6. Understand[H3045] therefore, that[H3588] the LORD[H3068] thy God[H430] giveth[H5414] thee not[H3808] [H853] this[H2063] good[H2896] land[H776] to possess[H3423] it for thy righteousness;[H6666] for[H3588] thou[H859] art a stiffnecked[H7186] [H6203] people.[H5971]
7. Remember,[H2142] and forget[H7911] not,[H408] [H853] how[H834] thou provokedst[H7107] [H853] the LORD[H3068] thy God[H430] to wrath in the wilderness:[H4057] from[H4480] the day[H3117] that[H834] thou didst depart[H3318] out of the land[H4480] [H776] of Egypt,[H4714] until[H5704] ye came[H935] unto[H5704] this[H2088] place,[H4725] ye have been[H1961] rebellious[H4784] against[H5973] the LORD.[H3068]
8. Also in Horeb[H2722] ye provoked[H7107] [H853] the LORD[H3068] to wrath, so that the LORD[H3068] was angry[H599] with you to have destroyed[H8045] you.
9. When I was gone up[H5927] into the mount[H2022] to receive[H3947] the tables[H3871] of stone,[H68] even the tables[H3871] of the covenant[H1285] which[H834] the LORD[H3068] made[H3772] with[H5973] you, then I abode[H3427] in the mount[H2022] forty[H705] days[H3117] and forty[H705] nights,[H3915] I neither[H3808] did eat[H398] bread[H3899] nor[H3808] drink[H8354] water: [H4325]
10. And the LORD[H3068] delivered[H5414] unto[H413] me[H853] two[H8147] tables[H3871] of stone[H68] written[H3789] with the finger[H676] of God;[H430] and on[H5921] them was written according to all[H3605] the words,[H1697] which[H834] the LORD[H3068] spoke[H1696] with[H5973] you in the mount[H2022] out of the midst[H4480] [H8432] of the fire[H784] in the day[H3117] of the assembly.[H6951]
11. And it came to pass[H1961] at the end[H4480] [H7093] of forty[H705] days[H3117] and forty[H705] nights,[H3915] that the LORD[H3068] gave[H5414] [H413] me[H853] the two[H8147] tables[H3871] of stone,[H68] even the tables[H3871] of the covenant.[H1285]
12. And the LORD[H3068] said[H559] unto[H413] me, Arise,[H6965] get thee down[H3381] quickly[H4118] from hence;[H4480] [H2088] for[H3588] thy people[H5971] which[H834] thou hast brought forth[H3318] out of Egypt[H4480] [H4714] have corrupted[H7843] themselves; they are quickly[H4118] turned aside[H5493] out of[H4480] the way[H1870] which[H834] I commanded[H6680] them; they have made[H6213] them a molten image.[H4541]
13. Furthermore the LORD[H3068] spoke[H559] unto[H413] me, saying,[H559] I have seen[H7200] [H853] this[H2088] people,[H5971] and, behold,[H2009] it[H1931] is a stiffnecked[H7186] [H6203] people: [H5971]
14. Let me alone,[H7503] [H4480] that I may destroy[H8045] them, and blot out[H4229] [H853] their name[H8034] from under[H4480] [H8478] heaven:[H8064] and I will make[H6213] of thee a nation[H1471] mightier[H6099] and greater[H7227] than[H4480] they.
15. So I turned[H6437] and came down[H3381] from[H4480] the mount,[H2022] and the mount[H2022] burned[H1197] with fire:[H784] and the two[H8147] tables[H3871] of the covenant[H1285] were in[H5921] my two[H8147] hands.[H3027]
16. And I looked,[H7200] and, behold,[H2009] ye had sinned[H2398] against the LORD[H3068] your God,[H430] and had made[H6213] you a molten[H4541] calf:[H5695] ye had turned aside[H5493] quickly[H4118] out of[H4480] the way[H1870] which[H834] the LORD[H3068] had commanded[H6680] you.
17. And I took[H8610] the two[H8147] tables,[H3871] and cast[H7993] them out of[H4480] [H5921] my two[H8147] hands,[H3027] and broke[H7665] them before your eyes.[H5869]
18. And I fell down[H5307] before[H6440] the LORD,[H3068] as at the first,[H7223] forty[H705] days[H3117] and forty[H705] nights:[H3915] I did neither[H3808] eat[H398] bread,[H3899] nor[H3808] drink[H8354] water,[H4325] because of[H5921] all[H3605] your sins[H2403] which[H834] ye sinned,[H2398] in doing[H6213] wickedly[H7451] in the sight[H5869] of the LORD,[H3068] to provoke him to anger.[H3707]
19. For[H3588] I was afraid[H3025] of[H4480] [H6440] the anger[H639] and hot displeasure,[H2534] wherewith[H834] the LORD[H3068] was wroth[H7107] against[H5921] you to destroy[H8045] you. But the LORD[H3068] hearkened[H8085] unto[H413] me at that[H1931] time[H6471] also.[H1571]
20. And the LORD[H3068] was very angry[H599] [H3966] with Aaron[H175] to have destroyed[H8045] him: and I prayed[H6419] for[H1157] Aaron[H175] also[H1571] the same[H1931] time.[H6256]
21. And I took[H3947] your sin,[H2403] [H853] the calf[H5695] which[H834] ye had made,[H6213] and burnt[H8313] it with fire,[H784] and stamped[H3807] it, and ground[H2912] it very small,[H3190] even until[H5704] it[H834] was as small[H1854] as dust:[H6083] and I cast[H7993] [H853] the dust[H6083] thereof into[H413] the brook[H5158] that descended[H3381] out of[H4480] the mount.[H2022]
22. And at Taberah,[H8404] and at Massah,[H4532] and at Kibroth-hattaavah,[H6914] ye provoked[H7107] [H853] the LORD[H3068] to wrath.
23. Likewise when the LORD[H3068] sent[H7971] you from Kadesh-barnea,[H4480] [H6947] saying,[H559] Go up[H5927] and possess[H3423] [H853] the land[H776] which[H834] I have given[H5414] you; then ye rebelled against[H4784] [H853] the commandment[H6310] of the LORD[H3068] your God,[H430] and ye believed[H539] him not,[H3808] nor[H3808] hearkened[H8085] to his voice.[H6963]
24. Ye have been[H1961] rebellious[H4784] against[H5973] the LORD[H3068] from the day[H4480] [H3117] that I knew[H3045] you.
25. Thus I fell down[H5307] before[H6440] the LORD[H3068] [H853] forty[H705] days[H3117] and forty[H705] nights,[H3915] as[H834] I fell down[H5307] at the first; because[H3588] the LORD[H3068] had said[H559] he would destroy[H8045] you.
26. I prayed[H6419] therefore unto[H413] the LORD,[H3068] and said,[H559] O Lord[H136] GOD,[H3069] destroy[H7843] not[H408] thy people[H5971] and thine inheritance,[H5159] which[H834] thou hast redeemed[H6299] through thy greatness,[H1433] which[H834] thou hast brought forth[H3318] out of Egypt[H4480] [H4714] with a mighty[H2389] hand.[H3027]
27. Remember[H2142] thy servants,[H5650] Abraham,[H85] Isaac,[H3327] and Jacob;[H3290] look[H6437] not[H408] unto[H413] the stubbornness[H7190] of this[H2088] people,[H5971] nor to[H413] their wickedness,[H7562] nor to[H413] their sin: [H2403]
28. Lest[H6435] the land[H776] whence[H834] [H4480] [H8034] thou broughtest us out[H3318] say,[H559] Because the LORD[H3068] was not able[H4480] [H1097] [H3201] to bring[H935] them into[H413] the land[H776] which[H834] he promised[H1696] them, and because he hated[H4480] [H8135] them, he hath brought them out[H3318] to slay[H4191] them in the wilderness.[H4057]
29. Yet they[H1992] are thy people[H5971] and thine inheritance,[H5159] which[H834] thou broughtest out[H3318] by thy mighty[H1419] power[H3581] and by thy stretched out[H5186] arm.[H2220]
