²⁷ Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Do not consider the stubbornness of this people nor the wickedness of their sin. ²⁸ Otherwise, the people of the land from which you brought them will say, ‘The Lord brought them out and put them to death in the desert because he was not able to bring them into the land that he had promised them and also because he hated them.’ ²⁹ Yet, they are your people and your inheritance, whom you brought out with your great power and your outstretched arm.”
