Exodus 23
1 "You shall not spread a false report. Do not join your hand with the wicked to be an unjust witness.

他是奉我名來的；你們要在他面前謹慎，聽從他的話，不可惹 他，因為他必不赦免你們的過犯。
22 But if you indeed listen to his voice, and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies, and an adversary to your adversaries.
「你若實在聽從他的話，照着我一切所說的去行，我就向你的仇敵作仇敵，向你的敵人作敵人。

28 I will send the hornet before you, which will drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hethite, from before you.
