Deuteronomy 7:21-23

English Standard Version

²¹ You shall not be in dread of them, for the Lord your God is ^(A)in your midst, ^(B)a great and awesome God. ^22 (C)The Lord your God will clear away these nations before you little by little. You may not make an end of them at once,^[a] lest the wild beasts grow too numerous for you. ^23 (D)But the Lord your God will give them over to you and throw them into great confusion, until they are destroyed.
