- યહોવાહ તમારા ઈશ્વર તેઓને તમારી આગળથી હાંકી કાઢે ત્યારે તમે મનમાં એમ ન કહેતા કે, મારા ન્યાયીપણાને લીધે યહોવાહે મને અહીં લાવીને આ દેશનો વારસો અપાવ્યો છે; ખરું જોતાં તો એ લોકોની દુષ્ટતાને લીધે યહોવાહ તેઓને તારી આગળથી હાંકી કાઢે છે.

- “जब तेरा परमेश्वर यहोवा उन्हें तेरे सामने से निकाल देगा तब यह न सोचना, कि यहोवा तेरे धार्मिकता के कारण तुझे इस देश का अधिकारी होने को ले आया है, किन्तु उन जातियों की दुष्टता ही के कारण यहोवा उनको तेरे सामने से निकालता है। (रोम. 10:6)
In context
2a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you know, and of whom you have heard say, “Who can stand before the sons of Anak?”
3Know therefore today that the LORD your God is he who goes over before you as a devouring fire. He will destroy them and he will bring them down before you. So you shall drive them out and make them perish quickly, as the LORD has spoken to you.
4Don’t say in your heart, after the LORD your God has thrust them out from before you, “For my righteousness the LORD has brought me in to possess this land;” because the LORD drives them out before you because of the wickedness of these nations.
5Not 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 the LORD your God does drive them out from before you, and that he may establish the word which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
6Know therefore that the LORD your God doesn’t give you this good land to possess for your righteousness, for you are a stiff-necked people.
