Read in context

Exodus 23:25–29 · Berean Standard Bible

25 So you shall serve the LORD your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will take away sickness from among you.

26 No woman in your land will miscarry or be barren; I will fulfill the number of your days.

27 I will send My terror ahead of you and throw into confusion every nation you encounter. I will make all your enemies turn and run.

28 I will send the hornet before you to drive the Hivites and Canaanites and Hittites out of your way.

29 I will not drive them out before you in a single year; otherwise the land would become desolate and wild animals would multiply against you.
