Deuteronomy 7:22-24

Young's Literal Translation

²² `And Jehovah thy God hath cast out these nations from thy presence little [by] little, (thou art not able to consume them hastily, lest the beast of the field multiply against thee),

²³ and Jehovah thy God hath given them before thee, and destroyed them -- a great destruction -- till their destruction;

²⁴ and He hath given their kings into thy hand, and thou hast destroyed their name from under the heavens; no man doth station himself in thy presence till thou hast destroyed them.
