For the Lord your God is a consuming fire; He is a jealous (impassioned) God [demanding what is rightfully and uniquely His].

And you shall consume all the peoples whom the Lord your God will give over to you; your eye shall not pity them, nor shall you serve their gods, for that would be a [deadly] trap to you.

The Lord will make the pestilence and plague cling to you until He has consumed and eliminated you from the land which you are entering to possess.

“You will bring out a great quantity of seed to the field, but you will gather in little, because the locusts will consume it.

Now then why should we die? For this great fire will consume us; if we hear the voice of the Lord our God any longer, then we will die.

The Lord your God will clear away these nations before you little by little; you will not be able to put an end to them quickly, for [if you did] the wild animals would become too numerous for you.
