Deuteronomy 7:22

7:22 He, ¹  the God who leads you, will expel the nations little by little. You will not be allowed to destroy them all at once lest the wild animals overrun you.

Deuteronomy 32:24

32:24 They will be starved by famine,

eaten by plague, and bitterly stung; ² 

I will send the teeth of wild animals against them,

along with the poison of creatures that crawl in the dust.

² tn The Hebrew term קֶטֶב (qetev) is probably metaphorical here for the sting of a disease (HALOT 1091-92 s.v.).
