Deuteronomy 7:16-26

16You shall consumeH398 allH3605 the peoplesH5971 whomH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 will deliverH5414 to you; 1your eyeH5869 shall not pityH2347 them, norH3808 shall you serveH5647 their godsH430, for that would be 2a snareH4170 to you.

17“IfH3588 you should sayH559 in your heartH3824, ‘TheseH428 nationsH1471 are greaterH7227 thanH4480 I; howH351 canH3201 I 3dispossessH3423 them?’ 18you shall not be afraidH3372 of them; you shall wellH2142 4rememberH2142 whatH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 didH6213 to PharaohH6547 and to allH3605 EgyptH4714: 195the greatH1419 trialsH4531 whichH834 your eyesH5869 sawH7200 and the signsH226 and the wondersH4159 and the mightyH2389 handH3027 and the outstretchedH5186 armH2220 by whichH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 broughtH3318 you out. SoH3651 shall the LordH3068 your GodH430 doH6213 to allH3605 the peoplesH5971 of whomH834 you are afraidH3372. 20MoreoverH1571, the LordH3068 your GodH430 will sendH7971 6the hornetH6880 against them, untilH5704 those who are leftH7604 and hideH5641 themselves from you perishH6. 21You shall not dreadH6206 7them, for 8the LordH3068 your GodH430 is in your midstH7130, 9a greatH1419 and awesomeH3372 GodH410. 2210The LordH3068 your GodH430 will clearH5394 awayH5394 theseH411 nationsH1471 beforeH4480H6440 you littleH4592 by littleH4592; you will not be ableH3201 to putH3615 an endH3615 to them quicklyH4118, for the 11wildH7704 beastsH2421 would growH7235 tooH5921 numerousH7235 for you. 2312But the LordH3068 your GodH430 will deliverH5414 them beforeH6440 you, and will 13throwH1949 them into greatH1419 confusionH4103 untilH5704 they are destroyedH8045. 2414He will deliverH5414 their kingsH4428 into your handH3027 so that you will make their nameH8034 perishH6 from underH8478 heavenH8064; 15noH3808 manH376 will be able to standH3320 beforeH6440 you untilH5704 you have destroyedH8045 them. 25The gravenH6456 imagesH6456 of their godsH430 you are to 16burnH8313 with fireH784; you shall 17not covetH2530 the silverH3701 or the goldH2091 that is on them, norH3808 takeH3947 it for yourselves, orH6435 you will be 18snaredH3369 by it, for it is an 19abominationH8441 to the LordH3068 your GodH430. 26You shall not bringH935 an abominationH8441 into your houseH1004, and likeH3644 it comeH1961 underH2764 the 20banH2764; you shall utterlyH8262 detestH8262 it and you shall utterlyH8581 abhorH8581 it, for it is somethingH2764 bannedH2764.
