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.  ‡

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.  ‡
