A Reversal of Judgment
Commentators unanimously agree that this verse presents a principle of divine reversal. If Israel failed to carry out God's judgment on the Canaanites by driving them out, God would inflict that same judgment—expulsion from the land—upon Israel. Scholars note this was tragically fulfilled in the Assyrian and Babylonian exiles, which resulted from Israel's persistent idolatry.
