9 “Hear, O Israel, today you are crossing the Jordan+ to go in and dispossess nations greater and mightier than you,+ cities great and fortified to the heavens,*+

3 Therefore, you should know this day that Jehovah your God will cross ahead of you.+ He is a consuming fire,+ and he will annihilate them. He will subdue them before your eyes so that you may quickly drive them out* and destroy them, just as Jehovah has promised you.+
