Deuteronomy

Deuteronomy 7:22–24

²²The LORD your God will drive out these nations before you little by little. You will not be enabled to eliminate them all at once, or the wild animals would multiply around you. ²³But the LORD your God will give them over to you and throw them into great confusion, until they are destroyed. ²⁴He will hand their kings over to you, and you will wipe out their names from under heaven. No one will be able to stand against you; you will annihilate them.
