- 以色列阿、你當聽.你今日要過約但河、進去趕出比你強大的國民、得著廣大堅固、高得頂天的城邑。
- 那民是亞衲族的人、又大又高、是你所知道的、也曾聽見有人指著他們說、誰能在亞衲族人面前站立得住呢。
- 你今日當知道、耶和華你的 神在你前面過去、如同烈火、要滅絕他們、將他們制伏在你面前、這樣你就要照耶和華所說的趕出他們、使他們速速滅亡。
- 耶和華你的 神將這些國民從你面前攆出以後、你心裡不可說、耶和華將我領進來得這地是因我的義.其實耶和華將他們從你面前趕出去、是因他們的惡。
- 你進去得他們的地、並不是因你的義、也不是因你心裡正直、乃是因這些國民的惡、耶和華你的 神將他們從你面前趕出去、又因耶和華要堅定他向你列祖亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各、起誓所應許的話。

- Hear, O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven,
- A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak!
- Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God is he which goeth over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the LORD hath said unto thee.
- Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee.
- Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
