Exodus 23:27-30

English Standard Version

²⁷ I will send ^(A)my terror before you and will throw into ^(B)confusion all the people against whom you shall come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you. ²⁸ And ^(C)I will send hornets^[a] before you, which shall drive out the Hivites, the Canaanites, and the Hittites from before you. ^29 (D)I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate and the wild beasts multiply against you. ³⁰ Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased and possess the land.
