16. You shall consume all the peoples whom Yahweh your God shall deliver to you. Your eye shall not pity them: neither shall you serve their gods; for that would be a snare to you.
17. If you shall say in your heart, “These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?”
18. you shall not be afraid of them. You shall remember well what Yahweh your God did to Pharaoh, and to all Egypt;
19. the great trials which your eyes saw, the signs, the wonders, the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm, by which Yahweh your God brought you out. So shall Yahweh your God do to all the peoples of whom you are afraid.
20. Moreover Yahweh your God will send the hornet among them, until those who are left, and hide themselves, perish from before you.
21. You shall not be scared of them; for Yahweh your God is among you, a great and awesome God.
22. Yahweh your God will cast out those nations before you little by little. You may not consume them at once, lest the animals of the field increase on you.
23. But Yahweh your God will deliver them up before you, and will confuse them with a great confusion, until they are destroyed.
24. He will deliver their kings into your hand, and you shall make their name perish from under the sky. No one will be able to stand before you, until you have destroyed them.
25. You shall burn the engraved images of their gods with fire. You shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them, nor take it for yourself, lest you be snared in it; for it is an abomination to Yahweh your God.
26. You shall not bring an abomination into your house, and become a devoted thing like it. You shall utterly detest it, and you shall utterly abhor it; for it is a devoted thing.
