Deuteronomy 7:18–24

¹⁸Do not be afraid of them; remember what the Lord your God did to the king of Egypt and to all his people. ¹⁹Remember the terrible plagues that you saw with your own eyes, the miracles and wonders, and the great power and strength by which the Lord your God set you free. In the same way that he destroyed the Egyptians, he will destroy all these people that you now fear. ²⁰He will even cause panicⁱ among them and will destroy those who escape and go into hiding. ²¹So do not be afraid of these people. The Lord your God is with you; he is a great God and one to be feared. ²²Little by little he will drive out these nations as you advance. You will not be able to destroy them all at once, for, if you did, the number of wild animals would increase and be a threat to you. ²³The Lord will put your enemies in your power and make them panic until they are destroyed. ²⁴He will put their kings in your power. You will kill them, and they will be forgotten. No one will be able to stop you; you will destroy everyone.
