Context of Deuteronomy 7:18
16You must remove the people of every nation that the Lord your God will put under your power. Do not be kind to them. Do not worship their gods. If you do that, they will make you turn away from God. 17Perhaps you will say to each other, ‘The people of these nations are stronger than we are. We cannot chase them away.’ But do not be afraid of them. Remember what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and all the Egyptian people. 19You saw how he punished them. You saw how he used his strength and power to do great miracles. The Lord your God did all those things to rescue you from Egypt. He will use the same power against all the people that make you afraid. 20Also, the Lord your God will send great fear among these people. Even those people who hide from you will soon die.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 12-26Verses 12-26 We are in danger of having fellowship with the works of darkness if we take pleasure in fellowship with those who do such works. Whatever brings us into a snare, brings us under a curse. Let us be constant to our duty, and we cannot question the constancy of God's mercy.
