Deuteronomy 7:20
Moreover the Lord thy God will send the hornet among them—(See on Joshua 24:12 [and Exodus 23:28]).
18 you shall not be afraid of them, but you shall aremember well what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt:
19 athe great trials which your eyes saw, the signs and the wonders, the mighty hand and the outstretched arm, by which the Lord your God brought you out. So shall the Lord your God do to all the peoples of whom you are afraid.
20 aMoreover the Lord your God will send the hornet among them until those who are left, who hide themselves from you, are destroyed.
21 You shall not be terrified of them; for the Lord your God, the great and awesome God, is among you.
22 And the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you alittle by little; you will be unable to1 destroy them at once, lest the beasts of the field become too numerous for you.
23 But the Lord your God will deliver them over to you, and will inflict defeat upon them until they are destroyed.
24 And aHe will deliver their kings into your hand, and you will destroy their name from under heaven; bno one shall be able to stand against you until you have destroyed them.
25 You shall burn the carved images of their gods with fire; you shall not acovet the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it for yourselves, lest you be snared by it; for it is an abomination to the Lord your God.

Deuteronomy 7:11-26
Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day—In the covenant into which God entered with Israel, He promised to bestow upon them a variety of blessings so long as they continued obedient to Him as their heavenly King. He pledged His veracity that His infinite perfections would be exerted for this purpose, as well as for delivering them from every evil to which, as a people, they would be exposed. That people accordingly were truly happy as a nation, and found every promise which the faithful God made to them amply fulfilled, so long as they adhered to that obedience which was required of them. See a beautiful illustration of this in Psalms 144:12-15.
