Exodus 23:27-29

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²⁷ “I will cause the people ahead of you to feel terror^[a] and throw into confusion^(A) all the nations you come to. I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you in retreat. ²⁸ I will send the hornet^[b](B) in front of you, and it will drive the Hivites, Canaanites, and Hittites away from you. ²⁹ I will not drive them out ahead of you in a single year; otherwise, the land would become desolate, and wild animals would multiply against you.
