Context of Deuteronomy 7:21
19the great trials which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the powerful hand, and the stretched-out arm, whereby Jehovah thy God brought thee out: so will Jehovah thy God do unto all the peoples whom thou fearest. 20Moreover, Jehovah thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and they that hide themselves from thee, are destroyed. Thou shalt not be afraid of them; for Jehovah thy God is in thy midst, a God great and terrible. 22And Jehovah thy God will cast out those nations from before thee by little and little; thou shalt not be able to make an end of them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee. 23But Jehovah thy God will give them up before thee, and will confound them with great consternation, until they are destroyed.
