and I will completely destroy them. <sup>24</sup>You shall not worship their gods, nor serve them, nor do according to their deeds; but you shall utterly overthrow them and break their <i>sacred</i> pillars in pieces. <sup>25</sup>But you shall serve the Lord your God, and He will bless your bread and your water; and I will remove sickness from your midst. <sup>26</sup>There shall be no one miscarrying or barren in your land; I will fulfill the number of your days. <sup>27</sup>I will send My terror ahead of you, and throw into confusion all the people among whom you come, and I will make all your enemies turn <i>their</i> backs to you. <sup>28</sup>I will send hornets ahead of you so that they will drive out the Hivites, the Canaanites, and the Hittites before you. <sup>29</sup>I will not drive them out before you in a single year, that the land may not become desolate and the beasts of the field become too numerous for you. <sup>30</sup>I will drive them out before you little by little, until you become fruitful and take possession of the land. <sup>31</sup>I will fix your boundary from the Red Sea to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the River <i>Euphrates</i>; for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you will drive them out before you. <sup>32</sup>You shall make no covenant with them or with their gods. <sup>33</sup>They shall not live in your land, because they will make you sin against Me;
