¶ Wherefore it shal come to passe, if ye hearken to these iudgements, and keepe and do them: That the LORD thy God shall keepe vnto thee the Couenant and the Mercy which he sware vnto thy fathers.

1611 marginal noteHebr. because.

If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations are moe then I, howe can I dispossesse them?

And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these fourtie yeeres in the wildernesse, to humble thee, and to proue thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keepe his commandements, or no.

Thy raiment waxed not old vpon thee, neither did thy foote swell these fourtie yeeres.

1611 marginal noteNehe. 9.21.

Speake not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousnesse the LORD hath brought mee in to possesse this land: but for the wickednesse of these nations, the LORD doeth driue them out from before thee.

Not for thy righteousnesse, or for the vprightnesse of thine heart, doest thou goe to possesse their land: But for the wickednesse of these nations the LORD thy God doeth driue them out from before thee, and that he may performe the word which the LORD sware vnto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Iacob.

He is thy praise, and he is thy God that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes haue seene.

¶ Therefore shall ye lay vp these my words in your heart, and in your soule, and bind them for a signe vpon your hand, that they may bee as frontlets betweene your eyes.

1611 marginal noteChap. 6.8.

¶ For if ye shall diligently keepe all these Commaundements which I command you, to doe them, to loue the LORD your God, to walke in all his wayes, and to cleaue vnto him:

Then will the LORD driue out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possesse greater nations, and mightier then your selues.
