Deuteronomy

Deuteronomy 7:17–21

¹⁷You may say in your heart, “These nations are greater than we are; how can we drive them out?” ¹⁸But do not be afraid of them. Be sure to remember what the LORD your God did to Pharaoh and all Egypt: ¹⁹the great trials that you saw, the signs and wonders, and the mighty hand and outstretched arm by which the LORD your God brought you out. The LORD your God will do the same to all the peoples you now fear.

²⁰Moreover, the LORD your God will send the hornet against them until even the survivors hiding from you have perished. ²¹Do not be terrified by them, for the LORD your God, who is among you, is a great and awesome God.
