28 And I will send the feeling of dejection* ahead of you,+ and it will simply drive the Hiʹvites, the Caʹnaan·ites and the Hitʹtites out from before you.+

5 It is not for your righteousness+ or for the uprightness of your heart+ that you are going in to take possession of their land; in fact, it is for the wickedness of these nations that Jehovah your God is driving them away from before you,+ and in order to carry out the word that Jehovah swore to your forefathers, Abraham,+ Isaac+ and Jacob.+

10 After that Joshua said: “By this YOU will know that a living God* is in YOUR midst,+ and that he will without fail drive away from before YOU the Caʹnaan·ites and the Hitʹtites and the Hiʹvites and the Perʹiz·zites and the Girʹga·shites and the Amʹor·ites and the Jebʹu·sites.+
