21 Beware of Him and obey His voice; ado not provoke Him, for He will bnot pardon your transgressions; for cMy name is in Him.
22 But if you indeed obey His voice and do all that I speak, then aI will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries.
23 aFor My Angel will go before you and bbring you in to the Amorites and the Hittites and the Perizzites and the Canaanites and the Hivites and the Jebusites; and I will cut them off.
24 You shall not abow down to their gods, nor serve them, bnor do according to their works; cbut you shall utterly overthrow them and completely break down their sacred pillars.
25 “So you shall aserve the Lord your God, and bHe will bless your bread and your water. And cI will take sickness away from the midst of you.
26 aNo one shall suffer miscarriage or be barren in your land; I will bfulfill the number of your days.
27 “I will send aMy fear before you, I will bcause confusion among all the people to whom you come, and will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.
28 And aI will send hornets before you, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite from before you.
29 aI will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate and the beasts of the field become too numerous for you.
30 Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased, and you inherit the land.
31 And aI will set your bounds from the Red Sea to the sea, Philistia, and from the desert to the River. For I will bdeliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you.
32 aYou shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
