³ Therefore understand today that the Lord your God is He who ^(A)goes over before you as a ^(B)consuming fire. ^(C)He will destroy them and bring them down before you; ^(D)so you shall drive them out and destroy them quickly, as the Lord has said to you.

²⁰ that we also may be ^(A)like all the nations, and that our king may judge us and go out before us and fight our battles.”

²⁴ And it shall be, when you ^(A)hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then you shall advance quickly. For then ^(B)the Lord will go out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.”
