Exodus 23:28-30

New Catholic Bible

²⁸ “I will send hornets ahead of you and they will drive out the Hivites, the Canaanites, and the Hittites from before you. ²⁹ I will not drive them out from before you in a single year lest the country remain deserted and the wild beasts multiply against you. ³⁰ Little by little I will drive them out before you until you have many sons to occupy the land.
