Deuteronomy 9:26-28
Contemporary English Version
26 and prayed:
Our Lord, please don't wipe out your people. You used your great power to rescue them from Egypt and to make them your very own. 27 Israel's ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob obeyed you faithfully. Think about them, and not about Israel's stubbornness, evil, and sin. 28 If you destroy your people, the Egyptians will say, “The Lord promised to give Israel land, but he wasn't powerful enough to keep his promise. In fact, he hated them so much that he took them into the desert and killed them.”

Deuteronomy 9:26-28
New International Version
26 I prayed to the Lord and said, “Sovereign Lord, do not destroy your people,(A) your own inheritance(B) that you redeemed(C) by your great power and brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.(D) 27 Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Overlook the stubbornness(E) of this people, their wickedness and their sin. 28 Otherwise, the country(F) from which you brought us will say, ‘Because the Lord was not able to take them into the land he had promised them, and because he hated them,(G) he brought them out to put them to death in the wilderness.’(H)
