Exodus 23:28-30

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁸ Sending out hornets before, that shall drive away the Hevite, and the Chanaanite, and the Hethite, before thou come in.

²⁹ I will not cast them out from thy face in one year: lest the land be brought into a wilderness, and the beasts multiply against thee.

³⁰ By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, till thou be increased, and dost possess the land.
