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.+

2 And he proceeded to do what was bad in Jehovah’s eyes,+ according to the detestable+ things of the nations that Jehovah had driven out from before the sons of Israel.+
