Deuteronomy 7:8-21 World English Bible (WEB)

8. but because Yahweh loves you, and because he desires to keep the oath which he swore to your fathers, Yahweh has brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

9. Know therefore that Yahweh your God himself is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with them who love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations,

10. and repays those who hate him to their face, to destroy them. He will not be slack to him who hates him. He will repay him to his face.

11. You shall therefore keep the commandments, the statutes, and the ordinances, which I command you today, to do them.

12. It shall happen, because you listen to these ordinances, and keep and do them, that Yahweh your God will keep with you the covenant and the loving kindness which he swore to your fathers.

13. He will love you, bless you, multiply you. He will also bless the fruit of your body and the fruit of your ground, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your livestock and the young of your flock, in the land which he swore to your fathers to give you.

14. You shall be blessed above all peoples. There shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your livestock.

15. Yahweh will take away from you all sickness; and none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which you know, will he put on you, but will lay them on all those who hate you.

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.
