17 “If you should say in your heart, ‘These nations are greater than I; how can I dispossess them?’— 18 you shall not be afraid of them, but you shall (A)remember well what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt: 19 (B)the great trials which your eyes saw, the signs and the wonders, the mighty hand and the outstretched arm, by which the Lord your God brought you out. So shall the Lord your God do to all the peoples of whom you are afraid. 20 (C)Moreover the Lord your God will send the hornet among them until those who are left, who hide themselves from you, are destroyed. 21 You shall not be terrified of them; for the Lord your God, the great and awesome God, is among you. 22 And the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you (D)little by little; you will be unable to [a]destroy them at once, lest the beasts of the field become too numerous for you. 23 But the Lord your God will deliver them over to you, and will inflict defeat upon them until they are destroyed. 24 And (E)He will deliver their kings into your hand, and you will destroy their name from under heaven; (F)no one shall be able to stand [b]against you until you have destroyed them.

How can we drive them out?(A) 18 But do not be afraid(B) of them; remember well what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt.(C) 19 You saw with your own eyes the great trials, the signs and wonders, the mighty hand(D) and outstretched arm, with which the Lord your God brought you out. The Lord your God will do the same to all the peoples you now fear.(E) 20 Moreover, the Lord your God will send the hornet(F) among them until even the survivors who hide from you have perished. 21 Do not be terrified by them, for the Lord your God, who is among you,(G) is a great and awesome God.(H) 22 The Lord your God will drive out those nations before you, little by little.(I) You will not be allowed to eliminate them all at once, or the wild animals will multiply around you. 23 But the Lord your God will deliver them over to you, throwing them into great confusion until they are destroyed.(J) 24 He will give their kings(K) into your hand,(L) and you will wipe out their names from under heaven. No one will be able to stand up against you;(M) you will destroy them.(N)
