Gen Z: Deuteronomy 9
1Yo, Israel, it’s time to cross the Jordan today and take over some dope nations way stronger than you, cities that are literally sky-high.
2These peeps are tall and massive, the Anakims, you know them, and like, who can even deal with the Anak kids?
3So get this, fam: the Lord your God is rolling ahead of you like a fire that vibes hard, wiping them out, so you can kick them out quick, just like He said.
4Don’t be in your feels thinking the Lord kicked them out for your rizz; it’s ‘cause these nations are sus that He’s driving them out.
5You’re not getting their land ‘cause you’re all that or have a good heart; it’s ‘cause these nations are wicked, and God’s keeping His promise to your fam, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
6Just know, the Lord ain’t giving you this lit land ‘cause you’re righteous; you’re kinda stubborn, no cap.
7Don’t forget how you made the Lord mad in the wild; since you bounced from Egypt, you’ve been acting up against Him.
8Even at Horeb, you made the Lord angry, and He was ready to wipe you out, fr.
9When I went up the mountain to grab the stone tablets, the ones with the covenant, I was chilling up there for forty days and nights, no food or water, just vibes.
10The Lord hooked me up with two stone tablets, written by His finger; all the words He said to you in the fire on the mountain during the assembly were on them.
11After forty days and forty nights, the Lord dropped me the two stone tablets, aka the covenant vibes.
12The Lord told me, "Yo, get down there quick! Your peeps from Egypt are acting sus and made a molten image."
13The Lord said, "I've peeped this crew, and they’re hella stiff-necked."
14"Just let me wipe them out and create a way stronger nation from you, no cap."
15So I dipped from the mount, and it was lit with fire; I was holding the two tablets in my hands.
16I saw y'all had straight-up sinned against the Lord, making a molten calf and turning away from His ways real quick.
17I tossed the tablets out of my hands and broke them right in front of you.
18I fell down before the Lord for forty days and nights, no food or drink, 'cause of all your wickedness that made Him mad.
19I was shook by the Lord's anger, ready to wipe you out, but He listened to me that time too.
20The Lord was super mad at Aaron, but I prayed for him too, fr.
21I took your sins, that calf you made, and straight-up burned it, crushed it down to dust, and tossed that dust into the stream, no cap.
22At Taberah, Massah, and Kibroth–hattaavah, you made the Lord mad, fr.
23When the Lord told you to go take the land He promised, you straight-up rebelled and didn't listen, sus vibes.
24You've been acting out against the Lord since the day I met you, periodt.
25So I went hard, praying for forty days and nights, just like the first time, 'cause the Lord said He'd wipe you out.
26I prayed to the Lord, saying, "Yo, don’t destroy your people and the crew you brought out of Egypt with serious power."
27Remember your OGs, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; don’t peep the stubbornness and wickedness of this crew.
28Or else the land we came from will be like, "The Lord couldn't get them to the promised land 'cause He was over it," and that's just savage.
29But they’re still your people and your inheritance, brought out with mad power and a flexed arm.
