Deuteronomy 7:20-22

New International Reader's Version

²⁰ The Lord your God will also send hornets among those nations. Some of the people left alive will hide from you. But even they will die. ²¹ So don’t be terrified by them. The Lord your God is with you. He is a great and wonderful God. ²² The Lord your God will drive out those nations to make room for you. But he will do it little by little. You won’t be allowed to get rid of them all at once. If you did, wild animals would multiply all around you.
