Exodus 23:27

I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee.

Ver. 27. My fear before thee.] Strike a panic fear into the hearts of thine enemies, so that they shall flee at the noise of a driven leaf; they shall be made & corde suo fugitivi, as Tertullian hath it.
