Exodus 23:27 Context
25And yee shall serue the Lord your God, and he shall blesse thy bread, and thy water: and I will take sicknes away from the midst of thee. 26¶ There shall nothing cast their yong, nor bee barren in thy land: the number of thy dayes I will fulfill. 27I will send my feare before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turne their backes vnto thee. 28And I will send hornets before thee, which shall driue out the Hiuite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite from before thee. 29I will not driue them out from before thee in one yeere, lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee.

Wesley's Notes for Exodus 23:27
23:27 I will send my fear before thee - And they that fear will soon flee. Hosts of hornets also made way for the hosts of Israel; such mean creatures can God make use of for the chastising of his people's enemies.
