Deuteronomy 7:18

Read in context

Deuteronomy 7:16–20 · Berean Standard Bible

16 You must destroy all the peoples the LORD your God will deliver to you. Do not look on them with pity. Do not worship their gods, for that will be a snare to you.

17 You may say in your heart, “These nations are greater than we are; how can we drive them out?”

18 But do not be afraid of them. Be sure to remember what the LORD your God did to Pharaoh and all Egypt:

19 the great trials that you saw, the signs and wonders, and the mighty hand and outstretched arm by which the LORD your God brought you out. The LORD your God will do the same to all the peoples you now fear.

20 Moreover, the LORD your God will send the hornet against them until even the survivors hiding from you have perished.
