16 And thou shalt consume all the peoples which the Lord thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them; neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that will be a snare unto thee.
17 When thou shalt say in thy heart, These Gentiles are more than I; how can I dispossess them?
18 Do not be afraid of them; remember well what the Lord thy God did with Pharaoh and with all Egypt;
19 of the great trials which thine eyes saw and the signs and the wonders and the mighty hand and the outstretched arm, by which the Lord thy God brought thee out; so shall the Lord thy God do unto all the peoples of whose presence thou art afraid.
20 Moreover the Lord thy God will send the hornet among them until those that are left and hide themselves from thee are destroyed.
21 Thou shalt not faint before them; for the Lord thy God is among you, a great and terrible God.
22 And the Lord thy God will put out those Gentiles before thee little by little; thou may not consume them at once lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.
