15. Adonai will remove all sickness from you, and He will not inflict on you any of the terrible diseases of Egypt that you knew, but will inflict them on all who hate you.
16. “You will devour all the peoples Adonai your God gives over to you. Your eye is not to pity them. You are not to serve their gods, for that would be a snare to you.
17. Suppose you say in your heart, ‘These nations are more numerous than I—how can I drive them out?’
18. You are not to be afraid of them. You are to be sure to remember what Adonai your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt:
19. the great trials that your eyes saw, the signs and wonders, and the mighty hand and outstretched arm by which Adonai your God brought you out. So will Adonai your God do to all the peoples you fear.
20. “Moreover, Adonai your God will send the hornet against them, until the survivors and those in hiding perish before you.
21. You should not be terrified of them, since Adonai your God is in your midst—a great and awesome God.
22. Adonai your God will drive away those nations before you little by little—you will not be able to put an end to them all at once, or else the beasts of the field will multiply on you.
23. But Adonai your God will give them over to you, and He will throw them into great confusion until they are destroyed.
24. He will hand over their kings to you, and you will blot out their name from under the heavens. No man will stand up to you, until you have destroyed them all.
25. “The carved images of their gods you are to burn with fire. You are not to covet the silver or gold on them or take it for yourself—or you could be snared by it, for it is an abomination to Adonai your God.
26. You are not to bring an abomination into your house—for you, like it, will be a banned thing. You must utterly detest and utterly abhor it, for it is set apart for destruction.
