Contextual Overview
12If you listen to these ordinances and keep them carefully, the LORD your God will keep His covenant with loving devotion, as He swore to your fathers. 13He will love you and bless you and multiply you. He will bless the fruit of your womb and the produce of your land-your grain, new wine, and oil-the young of your herds, and the newborn of your flocks, in the land that He swore to your fathers to give you. 14You will be blessed above all peoples; among you there will be no barren man or woman or livestock. 15And the LORD will remove from you all sickness. He will not lay upon you any of the terrible diseases you knew in Egypt, but He will inflict them on all who hate you. 16You must destroy all the peoples the LORD your God will deliver to you. Do not look on them with pity. Do not worship their gods, for that will be a snare to you.17You may say in your heart, "These nations are greater than we are; how can we drive them out?" 18But do not be afraid of them. Be sure to remember what the LORD your God did to Pharaoh and all Egypt: 19the great trials that you saw, the signs and wonders, and the mighty hand and outstretched arm by which the LORD your God brought you out. The LORD your God will do the same to all the peoples you now fear. 20Moreover, the LORD your God will send the hornet against them until all the survivors and those hiding from you have perished. 21Do not be terrified by them, for the LORD your God, who is among you, is a great and awesome God.
