17. If you say in your [minds and] hearts, These nations are greater than we are; how can we dispossess them?
18. You shall not be afraid of them, but remember [earnestly] what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt,
19. The great trials which your eyes saw, the signs, 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 people of whom you are afraid.
20. Moreover, the Lord your God will send the hornet among them until those who are left and hide themselves from you are destroyed.
21. You shall not dread them, for the Lord your God is among you, a mighty and terrible God.
22. And the Lord your God will clear out those nations before you, little by little; you may not consume them quickly, lest the beasts of the field increase among you.
