15. You will no longer suffer with the same horrible diseases that you sometimes had in Egypt. You will be healthy, but the Lord will make your enemies suffer from those diseases.
16. When the Lord helps you defeat your enemies, you must destroy them without pity! And don't get trapped into worshipping their gods.
17. You may be thinking, “How can we destroy these nations? They are more powerful than we are.”
18. But stop worrying! Just remember what the Lord your God did to Egypt and its king.
19. You saw how the Lord used his tremendous power to work great miracles and bring you out of Egypt. And he will again work miracles for you when you face these enemies you fear so much.
20. Some of them may try to survive by hiding from you, but the Lord will make them panic, and soon they will be dead.
21. So don't be frightened when you meet them in battle. The Lord your God is great and fearsome, and he will fight at your side.
