²¹ When you fight against them, do not let them frighten you. The Lord your God is there to help you. He is a great and powerful God. ²² He will chase out the people of those nations, one at a time. He will not let you destroy them all immediately. If you did that, wild animals would become so many that they would be a danger to you.

²³ But the Lord your God will put your enemies under your power. He will cause them to become completely confused, so that you can destroy them.
