Deuteronomy 7:17-24

17If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?

18Thou shalt not be afraid of them: but shalt well remember what Yhwh thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;

19The great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby Yhwh thy God brought thee out: so shall Yhwh thy God do unto all the people of whom thou art afraid.

20Moreover Yhwh thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.

21Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for Yhwh thy God is among you, a mighty God and terrible.

22And Yhwh thy God will put out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.1

23But Yhwh thy God shall deliver them unto thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed.2

24And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them.
