Deuteronomy 7:21-23

Evangelical Heritage Version

²¹ Do not be overwhelmed before them, because the Lord your God is right among you, a great and awe-inspiring God.

²² The Lord your God, the God before you, will clear away the nations little by little. You will not succeed in finishing them off too quickly, so that the wild animals do not become too numerous for you. ²³ But the Lord your God will give them over to you, and he will throw these peoples into complete confusion until they are destroyed.
