Exodus 23:22-29 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

22. If you obey him and carry out all I tell you, I will be an enemy to your enemies and a foe to your foes.

23. My angel will go before you and bring you to the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites and Jebusites; and I will wipe them out.

24. Therefore, you shall not bow down to their gods and serve them, nor shall you act as they do; rather, you must demolish them and smash their sacred stones.

25. You shall serve the Lord, your God; then he will bless your food and drink, and I will remove sickness from your midst;

26. no woman in your land will be barren or miscarry; and I will give you a full span of life.

27. I will have the terror of me precede you, so that I will throw into panic every nation you reach. I will make all your enemies turn from you in flight,

28. and ahead of you I will send hornets to drive the Hivites, Canaanites and Hittites out of your way.

29. But I will not drive them all out before you in one year, lest the land become desolate and the wild animals multiply against you.
