Exodus 23:27-29
Easy-to-Read Version
27 “When you fight against your enemies, I will send my great power before you.[a] I will help you defeat all your enemies. The people who are against you will become confused in battle and run away. 28 I will send the hornet[b] in front of you. He will force your enemies to leave. The Hivites, Canaanites, and Hittites will leave your country. 29 But I will not force all of them out of your land quickly. I will not do this in only one year. The land will be empty if I force the people out too fast. Then all the wild animals would increase and control the land. And they would be much trouble for you.
