Deuteronomy 7:20-22

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁰Moreover, the Lord your God will send the ^[a]hornet among them until those who are left and hide themselves from you are destroyed.

²¹You shall not dread them, for the Lord your God is among you, a mighty and terrible God.

²²And the Lord your God will clear out those nations before you, little by little; you may not consume them quickly, lest the beasts of the field increase among you.

Footnotes

Deuteronomy 7:20 “... the hornet” with the article, used in a collective sense as a species or kind, is thus evidently to be understood, as in Deut. 2:25, as the terrors of God which should go before Israel, with which also Josh. 24:12 and Ps. 44:2 fully agree (J.P. Lange, A Commentary).
