Moses gives Israel a warning and reminder that they will conquer nations much greater and stronger than themselves. God will subdue these nations and drive them out not because Israel is righteous, Israel is actually a nation of stubborn and strong-willed people. These nations will be destroyed because of their wickedness and so God can fulfill His promise to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Moses then recounts some of the major instances of Israel's rebellion against God, including the episode with the golden calf while Moses was on the mountain getting the original stone tablets from God.
