3 Understand today that the LORD your God who goes before you is a devouring fire; he will defeat and subdue them before you. You will dispossess and destroy them quickly just as he has told you. 4 Do not think to yourself after the LORD your God has driven them out before you, |Because of my own righteousness the LORD has brought me here to possess this land.| It is because of the wickedness of these nations that the Lord is driving them out ahead of you.
