<sup>23.</sup> “But the Lord thy God shall deliver them unto thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed. <sup>24.</sup> “And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven; there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them.”<sup>— Deut. Vii.</sup> If these words had proceeded from the mouth of a demon, if they had been spoken by some enraged and infinitely malicious fiend, I should not have been surprised. But these things are attributed to a God of infinite mercy.
