21. So do not be afraid of these people. The Lord your God is with you; he is a great God and one to be feared.
22. Little by little he will drive out these nations as you advance. You will not be able to destroy them all at once, for, if you did, the number of wild animals would increase and be a threat to you.
23. The Lord will put your enemies in your power and make them panic until they are destroyed.
24. He will put their kings in your power. You will kill them, and they will be forgotten. No one will be able to stop you; you will destroy everyone.
25. Burn their idols. Do not desire the silver or gold that is on them, and do not take it for yourselves. If you do, that will be fatal, because the Lord hates idolatry.
