Deuteronomy 7:17

1
When the
L
ORD
thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;
2
And when the
L
ORD
thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them,
and
utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them:
3
Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.
4
For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the
L
ORD
be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly.
5
But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.
6
For thou
art
an holy people unto the
L
ORD
thy God: the
L
ORD
thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that
are
upon the face of the earth.
7
The
L
ORD
did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye
were
the fewest of all people:
8
But because the
L
ORD
loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the
L
ORD
brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
9
Know therefore that the
L
ORD
thy God, he
is
God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;
10
And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.
11
Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.
12
Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the
L
ORD
thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:
13
And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
14
Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.
15
And the
L
ORD
will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all
them
that hate thee.
16
And thou shalt consume all the people which the
L
ORD
thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that
will be
a snare unto thee.
If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations
are
more than I; how can I dispossess them?
18
Thou shalt not be afraid of them:
but
shalt well remember what the
L
ORD
thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;
19
The great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby the
L
ORD
thy God brought thee out: so shall the
L
ORD
thy God do unto all the people of whom thou art afraid.
20
Moreover the
L
ORD
thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.
21
Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the
L
ORD
thy God
is
among you, a mighty God and terrible.
22
And the
L
ORD
thy God will put out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.
23
But the
L
ORD
thy God shall deliver them unto thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed.
24
And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them.
25
The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold
that is
on them, nor take
it
unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it
is
an abomination to the
L
ORD
thy God.
26
Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it:
but
thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it
is
a cursed thing.
