Christian Standard Bible

Warning against Self-Righteousness

9 “Listen, Israel: Today you are about to cross the Jordan to enter and drive out nations greater and stronger than you,^(A) with large cities fortified to the heavens.^{(B) 2} The people are strong and tall, the descendants of the Anakim.^(C) You know about them and you have heard it said about them, ‘Who can stand up to the sons of Anak?’ ^{(D) 3} But understand that today the Lord your God will cross over ahead of you^(E) as a consuming fire;^(F) he will devastate and subdue them before you. You will drive them out and destroy them swiftly,^(G) as the Lord has told you.
