The great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby the LORD thy God brought thee out: so shall the LORD thy God do unto all the people of whom thou art afraid.
Remember the great tests you witnessed with your own eyes, and the miraculous signs and wonders, and the mighty power and outstretched arm that the LORD your God used to bring you out of Egypt. The LORD your God will do the same thing to all the peoples you're afraid of now.
God is reminding His people that just as He powerfully delivered them from Egypt, He will also defeat the enemies they currently fear.
