ગુજરાતીપુનર્નિયમ ૯:૬
એ માટે નક્કી જાણ કે તારા ન્યાયીપણાને લીધે યહોવાહ તારા ઈશ્વર આ ઉતમ દેશ તને નથી આપતા કેમ કે તમે તો હઠીલી પ્રજા છો.
हिन्दीव्यवस्थाविवरण ९:६
“इसलिए यह जान ले कि तेरा परमेश्वर यहोवा, जो तुझे वह अच्छा देश देता है कि तू उसका अधिकारी हो, उसे वह तेरे धार्मिकता के कारण नहीं दे रहा है; क्योंकि तू तो एक हठीली जाति है।

In context

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.

7Remember, and don’t forget, how you provoked the LORD your God to wrath in the wilderness. From the day that you left the land of Egypt until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against the LORD.

8Also in Horeb you provoked the LORD to wrath, and the LORD was angry with you to destroy you.
