Deuteronomy 7:18–24

¹⁸do not be afraid of them. Just remember what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt,^{* 19}the great trials that your eyes saw, the signs and wonders, the mighty hand and the outstretched arm by which the Lord your God brought you out. The Lord your God will do the same to all the peoples of whom you are afraid.^{* 20}Moreover, the Lord your God will send swarms of hornets^q against them until even the survivors and the fugitives are destroyed.^{* 21}Have no dread of them, for the Lord your God, who is present with you, is a great and awesome God.^{* 22}The Lord your God will clear away these nations before you little by little; you will not be able to make a quick end of them, otherwise the wild animals would become too numerous for you.^{* 23}But the Lord your God will give them over to you and throw them into great panic until they are destroyed. ²⁴He will hand their kings over to you, and you shall blot out their name from under heaven; no one will be able to stand against you until you have destroyed them.^*
