Exodus 23:21-33 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

21. Take notice of him, and hear his voice, and do not think him one to be contemned: for he will not forgive when thou hast sinned, and my name is in him.

22. But if thou wilt hear his voice, and do all that I speak, I will be an enemy to thy enemies, and will afflict them that afflict thee.

23. And my angel shall go before thee, and shall bring thee in unto the Amorrhite, and the Hethite, and the Pherezite, and the Chanaanite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite, whom I will destroy.

24. Thou shalt not adore their gods, nor serve them. Thou shalt not do their works, but shalt destroy them, and break their statues.

25. And you shall serve the Lord your God, that I may bless your bread and your waters, and may take away sickness from the midst of thee.

26. There shall not be one fruitless nor barren in thy land: I will fill the number of thy days.

27. I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come: and will turn the backs of all thy enemies before thee.

28. Sending out hornets before, that shall drive away the Hevite, and the Chanaanite, and the Hethite, before thou come in.

29. I will not cast them out from thy face in one year: lest the land be brought into a wilderness, and the beasts multiply against thee.

30. By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, till thou be increased, and dost possess the land.

31. And I will set thy bounds from the Red Sea to the sea of the Palestines, and from the desert to the river: I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hands, and will drive them out from before you.

32. Thou shalt not enter into league with them, nor with their gods.

33. Let them not dwell in thy land, lest perhaps thy make thee sin against me, if thou serve their god: which undoubtedly will be a scandal to thee.
