send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.
21
Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the L
ORD
thy God
is
among you, a mighty God and
terrible.
22
And the L
ORD
thy God will put out those nations before thee by little and little: thou
mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.
23
But the L
ORD
thy God shall deliver them unto thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they
be destroyed.
24
And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name
from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them.
25
The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold
that is
on them, nor take
it
unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it
is
an abomination to the
L
ORD
thy God.
26
Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed
thing like it:
but
thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it
is
a cursed thing.
CHAPTER 8
All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live,
and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the L
ORD
sware unto your fathers.
2
And thou
shalt remember all the way which the L
ORD
thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to
humble thee,
and
to prove thee, to know what
was
in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his
commandments, or no.
3
And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with
manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that
man doth not live by bread only, but by every
word
that proceedeth out of the mouth of the L
ORD
doth man live.
4
Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.
5
Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son,
so
the L
ORD
thy God
chasteneth thee.
6
Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the L
ORD
thy God, to walk in
his ways, and to fear him.
7
For the L
ORD
thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks
of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;
8
A land of wheat, and barley,
and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;
9
A land wherein thou
shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any
thing
in it; a land whose stones are iron,
and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.
10
When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt
bless the L
ORD
thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.
11
Beware that thou forget not
the L
ORD
thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which
I command thee this day:
12
Lest
when
thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses,
and dwelt
therein;
13
And
when
thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is
multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;
14
Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the
L
ORD
thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;
15
Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness,
wherein were
fiery serpents, and scorpions,
and drought, where
there was
no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;
16
Who
