Deuteronomy 7:18-23 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

18. You must not be afraid of them. You must remember what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and to all the people of Egypt.

19. You saw the great troubles he gave them and the amazing things he did. You saw the Lord use his great power and strength to bring you out of Egypt. The Lord your God will use that same power against all the people you fear.

20. “The Lord your God will send the hornet against them. He will do this until he destroys all the people who escaped and tried to hide.

21. Don’t be afraid of them, because the Lord your God is with you. He is a great and awesome God.

22. The Lord your God will force those nations to leave your country little by little. You will not destroy them all at once. If you did, the wild animals would grow to be too many for you.

23. But the Lord your God will let you defeat those nations. He will confuse them in battle, until they are destroyed.
