You won't be permitted to wipe them out all at once lest the wild animals take over and overwhelm you. But God , your God, will move them out of your way—he'll throw them into a huge panic until there's nothing left of them. He'll turn their kings over to you and you'll remove all trace of them under Heaven. Not one person will be able to stand up to you; you'll put an end to them all.

"You shall not dread them, for the LORD your God is in your midst, a great and awesome God.

Contextual Overview

12 And it shall be, because you hear judgments, and keep and do them, even Jehovah your God will keep with you the covenant and the mercy which He swore to your fathers. 13 And He will love you, and bless you, and multiply you. He will also bless the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your land, your grain and your wine and your oil, the increase of your oxen and the wealth of your flock, in the land which Hehas sworn to your fathers, to give it to you. 14 You shall be blessed above all people; there shall not be a barren man or a barren woman among you, nor among your livestock. 15 And Jehovah shall turn aside every sickness from you; and He will not put on you any of the evil diseases of Egypt, which you have known, but He will put them on all who hate you. 16 And you shall destroy all the peoples whom Jehovah your God is giving to you. And your eye shall have no pity on them; and you shall not serve their gods; for it shall be a snare to you. 17 If you shall say in your heart, These nations are more plentiful than I; how can I throw them out? 18 You shall not be afraid of them; remembering you shall remember that which Jehovah your God has done to Pharaoh, and to all Egypt, 19 the great trials which your eyes have seen, and the miracles, and the wonders and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm with which Jehovah your God has brought you out. So Jehovah your God shall do to all the peoples of whose face youare afraid. 20 And Jehovah your God shall send the hornets among them, until the ones who are left perish, even those who hide themselves from your face. 21 You shall not tremble before them, for Jehovah your God is among you, a mighty and fearful God.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Thou shall not be affrighted at them,.... At their numbers, nor at their gigantic stature:

for the Lord thy God is among you: in the tabernacle, in the holy of holies, which was in the midst of them, and besides would give proof of his powerful presence among them, in protecting them, and destroying their enemies;

a mighty God and terrible; mighty to save his people, and terrible to others.
