Do not rebel against him, for he will not forgive your rebellion, since my name is in him. 22 If you listen carefully to his voice and do everything I say, I will be an enemy to your enemies and oppose those who oppose you. 23 My angel will go ahead of you and bring you into the land of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites, and Jebusites, and I will wipe them out. 24 Do not bow down to their gods or worship them or follow their practices. Instead, you must demolish them completely and shatter their sacred pillars. 25 Worship the LORD your God, and he will bless your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you. 26 None will miscarry or be barren in your land, and I will fulfill the number of your days. 27 I will send my terror ahead of you and throw into confusion every nation you encounter. I will make all your enemies turn their backs and run. 28 I will send the hornet ahead of you to drive out the Hivites, Canaanites, and Hittites from your path. 29 I will not drive them out before you in a single year, because the land would become desolate, and the wild animals would multiply against you. 30 Little by little I will drive them out before you, until you are fruitful and take possession of the land. 31 I will establish your borders from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea, and from the wilderness to the Euphrates River. I will give into your hands the inhabitants of the land, and you will drive them out before you. 32 Do not make a covenant with them or with their gods. 33 They must not live in your land, or they will cause you to sin against me, because if you worship their gods, it will become a snare to you.
