19. the great trials which thine eyes have seen, and the signs, and the wonders, and the strong hand, and the stretched-out arm, with which Jehovah thy God hath brought thee out; so doth Jehovah thy God to all the peoples of whose presence thou art afraid.
20. `And also the locust doth Jehovah thy God send among them, till the destruction of those who are left, and of those who are hidden from thy presence;
21. thou art not terrified by their presence, for Jehovah thy God [is] in thy midst, a God great and fearful.
22. `And Jehovah thy God hath cast out these nations from thy presence little [by] little, (thou art not able to consume them hastily, lest the beast of the field multiply against thee),
23. and Jehovah thy God hath given them before thee, and destroyed them--a great destruction--till their destruction;
24. and He hath given their kings into thy hand, and thou hast destroyed their name from under the heavens; no man doth station himself in thy presence till thou hast destroyed them.
25. `The graven images of their gods ye do burn with fire; thou dost not desire the silver and gold on them, nor hast thou taken [it] to thyself, lest thou be snared by it, for the abomination of Jehovah thy God it [is];
26. and thou dost not bring in an abomination unto thy house--or thou hast been devoted like it; --thou dost utterly detest it, and thou dost utterly abominate it; for it [is] devoted.
