Deuteronomy 7:16-26

16You shall consume all the peoples whom the Lord your God will deliver to you; 1your eye shall not pity them, nor shall you serve their gods, for that would be 2a snare to you.

17“If you should say in your heart, ‘These nations are greater than I; how can I 3dispossess them?’ 18you shall not be afraid of them; you shall well 4remember what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt: 195the great trials which your eyes saw and the signs and the wonders and the mighty hand and the outstretched arm by which the Lord your God brought you out. So shall the Lord your God do to all the peoples of whom you are afraid. 20Moreover, the Lord your God will send 6the hornet against them, until those who are left and hide themselves from you perish. 21You shall not dread 7them, for 8the Lord your God is in your midst, 9a great and awesome God. 2210The Lord your God will clear away these nations before you little by little; you will not be able to put an end to them quickly, for the 11wild beasts would grow too numerous for you. 2312But the Lord your God will deliver them before you, and will 13throw them into great confusion until they are destroyed. 2414He will deliver their kings into your hand so that you will make their name perish from under heaven; 15no man will be able to stand before you until you have destroyed them. 25The graven images of their gods you are to 16burn with fire; you shall 17not covet the silver or the gold that is on them, nor take it for yourselves, or you will be 18snared by it, for it is an 19abomination to the Lord your God. 26You shall not bring an abomination into your house, and like it come under the 20ban; you shall utterly detest it and you shall utterly abhor it, for it is something banned.
