Exodus 23:22-33

New American Standard Bible

²² But if you truly obey his voice and do all that I say, then ^(A)I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries. ^23 (B)For My angel will go before you and bring you into the land of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; and I will completely destroy them. ^24 (C)You shall not worship their gods, nor serve them, nor do according to their deeds; ^(D)but you shall utterly overthrow them and break their ^(E)memorial stones in pieces. ^25 (F)And you shall serve the Lord your God, ^[a]and He will bless your bread and your water; and ^(G)I will remove sickness from your midst. ²⁶ There will be no one miscarrying or ^(H)unable to have children in your land; ^(I)I will fulfill the number of your days. ²⁷ I will ^(J)send My terror ahead of you, and ^(K)throw into confusion all the people among whom you come, and I will ^(L)make all your enemies turn their backs to you. ²⁸ And I will send ^(M)hornets ahead of you so that they will ^(N)drive out the Hivites, the Canaanites, and the Hittites from you. ^29 (O)I will not drive them out from you in a single year, so that the land will not become desolate and the animals of the field become too numerous for you. ³⁰ I will drive them out from you ^(P)little by little, until you become fruitful and take possession of the land. ^31 (Q)I will set your boundary from the ^[b]Red Sea to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the Euphrates River; ^(R)for I will hand over the inhabitants of the land to you, and you will ^(S)drive them out from you. ^32 (T)You shall ^[c]make no covenant with them ^(U)or with their gods. ^33 (V)They shall not live in your land, otherwise they will make you sin against Me; for if you serve their gods, ^(W)it is certain to be a snare to you.”
