Deuteronomy 7:16-26

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁶ And thou shalt consume all the peoples which the LORD thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them; neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that will be a snare unto thee.

¹⁷ When thou shalt say in thy heart, These Gentiles are more than I; how can I dispossess them?

¹⁸ Do not be afraid of them; remember well what the LORD thy God did with Pharaoh and with all Egypt;

¹⁹ of the great trials which thine eyes saw and the signs and the wonders and the mighty hand and the outstretched arm, by which the LORD thy God brought thee out; so shall the LORD thy God do unto all the peoples of whose presence thou art afraid.

²⁰ Moreover the LORD thy God will send the hornet among them until those that are left and hide themselves from thee are destroyed.

²¹ Thou shalt not faint before them; for the LORD thy God is among you, a great and terrible God.

²² And the LORD thy God will put out those Gentiles before thee little by little; thou may not consume them at once lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.

²³ But the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction until they are destroyed.

²⁴ And he shall deliver their kings into thy hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven; no one shall be able to stand before thee until thou hast destroyed them.

²⁵ The graven images of their gods ye shall burn in the fire; thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them nor take it unto thee lest thou be snared therein; for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God.

²⁶ Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house lest thou become an anathema like it, but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is anathema.
