28And I will send swarms of hornetst in front of you, which shall drive out the Hivites, the Canaanites, and the Hittites from before you.* 29I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate and the wild animals multiply against you.* 30Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased and possess the land.

And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.
