Fear them not, but remember what the LORD thy God did unto Pharao and
unto all Egypt, and the great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the
signs and wonders and mighty hand and stretched out arm wherewith the
LORD thy God brought thee out: even so shall the LORD thy God do unto
all the nations of which thou art afraid. Thereto, the LORD thy God
will send hornets among them until they that are left, and hide them
selves from thee, be destroyed. See thou fear them not for the LORD
{lord} thy God is among you a mighty God and a terrible. The LORD thy
God will put out these nations before thee a little and a little: thou
mayst not consume them at once lest the beasts of the field increase
upon thee. And the LORD {lorde} thy God shall deliver them unto thee
and stir up a mighty tempest among them, until they be brought to
nought. And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou
shalt destroy their names from under heaven. There shall no man stond
before thee, until thou have destroyed them. The images of their gods
thou shalt burn with fire, and see that thou covet not the silver or
gold that is on them nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared
therewith. For it is an abomination unto the LORD thy God. Bring not
therefore the Abomination to thine house, lest thou be a damned thing
as it is: but utterly defy it and abhor it, for it is a thing that must
be destroyed.

thee hunger and fed thee with manna which neither thou nor thy father
knew of, to make thee know that a man must not live by bread only: but
by all that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD must a man live.
Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy feet swell this
forty years. Understand therefore in thine heart, that as a man
nurtureth his son, even so the LORD thy God nurtureth thee. Keep
therefore the commandments of the LORD thy God that thou walk in his
ways and that thou fear him. For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a
good land, a land of rivers of water, of fountains and of springs that
spring out both in valleys and hills: a land of wheat and of barley, of
vines, fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive trees with oil and
of honey: a land wherein thou shalt not eat bread in scarceness, and
where thou shalt lack nothing, a land whose stones are iron, and out of
whose hills thou shalt dig brass. When thou hast eaten therefore and
filled thyself, then bless the LORD for the good land which he hath
given thee. But beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, that thou
