Exodus 23:25-30 Common English Bible (CEB)

25. If you worship the Lord your God, the Lord will bless your bread and your water. I’ll take sickness away from you,

26. and no woman will miscarry or be infertile in your land. I’ll let you live a full, long life.

27. My terrifying reputation will precede you, and I’ll throw all the people that you meet into a panic. I’ll make all your enemies turn their backs to you.

28. I’ll send insect swarms in front of you and drive out the Hivites, the Canaanites, and the Hittites before you.

29. I won’t drive them out before you in a single year so the land won’t be abandoned and the wild animals won’t multiply around you.

30. I’ll drive them out before you little by little, until your numbers grow and you eventually possess the land.
