Deuteronomy 7:20-26 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

20. The Lord your God will also send the hornet against them until all the survivors and those hiding from you perish.

21. Don’t be terrified of them, for the Lord your God, a great and awesome God, is among you.

22. The Lord your God will drive out these nations before you little by little. You will not be able to destroy them all at once; otherwise, the wild animals will become too numerous for you.

23. The Lord your God will give them over to you and throw them into great confusion until they are destroyed.

24. He will hand their kings over to you, and you will wipe out their names under heaven. No one will be able to stand against you; you will annihilate them.

25. You must burn up the carved images of their gods. Don’t covet the silver and gold on the images and take it for yourself, or else you will be ensnared by it, for it is abhorrent to the Lord your God.

26. You must not bring any abhorrent thing into your house, or you will be set apart for destruction like it. You are to utterly detest and abhor it, because it is set apart for destruction.
