Deuteronomy 7:16–26

16 And cthou shalt consume all the people which the Lord thy God shall deliver thee; dthine eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that will be ea snare unto thee. 17 If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations are more than I; how can I fdispossess them? 18 gThou shalt not be afraid of them: but shalt well hremember what the Lord thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt; 19 iThe great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby the Lord thy God brought thee out: so shall the Lord thy God do unto all the people of whom thou art afraid. 20 Moreover the Lord thy God will send kthe hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed. 21 gThou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the Lord thy God is lamong you, ma mighty God and terrible. 22 nAnd the Lord 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. 23 But the Lord thy God shall deliver them †unto thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed. 24 And ohe shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name pfrom under heaven: qthere shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them. 25 The graven images of their gods rshall ye burn with fire: thou sshalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be tsnared therein: for it is uan abomination to the Lord thy God. 26 Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is xa cursed thing.
