19You saw with your own eyes the great trials, the miraculous signs and wonders, the mighty hand and outstretched arm, with which the
Lord your God brought you out. The
Lord your God will do the same to all the peoples you now fear.
20Moreover, the
Lord your God will send the hornet among them until even the survivors who hide from you have perished.
21Do not be terrified by them, for the
Lord your God, who is among you, is a great and awesome God.
22The
Lord your God will drive out those nations before you, little by little. You will not be allowed to eliminate them all at once, or the wild animals will multiply around you.
23But the
Lord your God will deliver them over to you, throwing them into great confusion until they are destroyed.
24He will give their kings into your hand, and you will wipe out their names from under heaven. No one will be able to stand up against you; you will destroy them.
25The images of their gods you are to burn in the fire. Do not covet the silver and gold on them, and do not take it for yourselves, or you will be ensnared by it, for it is detestable to the
Lord your God.
26Do not bring a detestable thing into your house or you, like it, will be set apart for destruction. Utterly abhor and detest it, for it is set apart for destruction.
