They did not destroy the nations, Concerning whom the LORD commanded them:
They did not destroy the [heathen] nations as the Lord commanded them,
They didn’t destroy the nations as the LORD had ordered them to do.
a fruit-bearing land in the midst of brine, before the malice of those who dwell in it.
A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
