25 “So you shall (A)serve the Lord your God, and (B)He will bless your bread and your water. And (C)I will take sickness away from the midst of you. 26 (D)No one shall suffer miscarriage or be barren in your land; I will (E)fulfill the number of your days.

27 “I will send (F)My fear before you, I will (G)cause confusion among all the people to whom you come, and will make all your enemies turn their backs to you. 28 And (H)I will send hornets before you, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite from before you. 29 (I)I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate and the beasts of the field become too numerous for you. 30 Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased, and you inherit the land. 31 And (J)I will set your [a]bounds from the Red Sea to the sea, Philistia, and from the desert to the [b]River. For I will (K)deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you.

25 Worship the Lord your God,(A) and his blessing(B) will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness(C) from among you, 26 and none will miscarry or be barren(D) in your land. I will give you a full life span.(E)

27 “I will send my terror(F) ahead of you and throw into confusion(G) every nation you encounter. I will make all your enemies turn their backs and run.(H) 28 I will send the hornet(I) ahead of you to drive the Hivites, Canaanites and Hittites(J) out of your way. 29 But I will not drive them out in a single year, because the land would become desolate and the wild animals(K) too numerous for you. 30 Little by little I will drive them out before you, until you have increased enough to take possession(L) of the land.

31 “I will establish your borders from the Red Sea[a] to the Mediterranean Sea,[b] and from the desert to the Euphrates River.(M) I will give into your hands the people who live in the land, and you will drive them out(N) before you.
