New Testament

Deuter­­onomy 7:18-26 Modern English Version (MEV)

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

19. the great trials which your eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched-out arm, by which the Lord your God brought you out. So the Lord your God will do to all the peoples of whom you are afraid.

20. Moreover the Lord your God will send the hornet among them, until they who are left and hide themselves from you perish.

21. You must not be frightened of them, for the Lord your God is among you, a great and awesome God.

22. The Lord your God will drive out those nations before you, little by little. You will not be able to destroy them all at once, lest the beasts of the field become too numerous for you.

23. But the Lord your God will deliver them to you and will throw them into a great confusion until they are destroyed.

24. He will deliver their kings into your hand so that you may erase their names from under heaven. No man will be able to stand before you until you have destroyed them.

25. You must burn the graven images of their gods with fire. You must not desire the silver or gold that is on them nor take any of it, lest you be snared by them, for it is an abomination to the Lord your God.

26. You shall not bring an abomination into your house, lest you become cursed like it, but you must absolutely detest and abhor it, for it is a cursed thing.
