17 “If you say in your heart, ‘These nations are greater than I. How can I dispossess them?’

17 Beware ^qlest you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth.’

4 ^c“Do not say in your heart, after the Lord your God has thrust them out before you, ‘It is because of my righteousness that the Lord has brought me in to possess this land,’ whereas it is ^dbecause of the wickedness of these nations that the Lord is driving them out before you.

21 And if you say in your heart, ‘How may we know the word that the Lord has not spoken?’—
