Deuteronomy 9:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

² A People great and tall, the sons of the Enacims, whom thou hast seen, and heard of, against whom no man is able to stand.

³ Thou shalt know therefore this day that the Lord thy God himself will pass over before thee, a devouring and consuming fire, to destroy and extirpate and bring them to nothing before thy face quickly, as he hath spoken to thee.

⁴ Say not in thy heart, when the Lord thy God shall have destroyed them in thy sight: For my justice hath the Lord brought me in to possess this land, whereas these nations are destroyed for their wickedness.
