Judges 6:1-14

1And the children of IsraelH3478 did that which was evilH7451 in the sight of Jehovah: and Jehovah delivered them into the handH3027 of MidianH4080 sevenH7651 yearsH8141. 2And the handH3027 of MidianH4080 prevailedH5810 against IsraelH3478; and because of MidianH4080 the children of IsraelH3478 madeH6213 them the dens which are in the mountainsH2022, and the cavesH4631, and the strongholdsH4679. 3And so it wasH1961, when IsraelH3478 had sownH2232, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the eastH6924; they came up against them; 4and they encampedH2583 against them, and destroyedH7843 the increase of the earthH776, till thou comeH935 unto GazaH5804, and leftH7604 no sustenanceH4241 in IsraelH3478, neither sheepH7716, nor oxH7794, nor ass. 5For they cameH935 up with their cattle and their tentsH168; they cameH935 in as locustsH697 for multitudeH7230; both they and their camelsH1581 were without numberH4557: and they cameH935 into the landH776 to destroyH7843 it. 6And IsraelH3478 was brought veryH3966 lowH1809 because of MidianH4080; and the children of IsraelH3478 criedH2199 unto Jehovah.

7And it came to pass, when the children of IsraelH3478 criedH2199 unto Jehovah because of MidianH4080, 8that Jehovah sentH7971 a prophetH5030 unto the children of IsraelH3478: and he saidH559 unto them, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, I broughtH3318 you up from EgyptH4714, and broughtH3318 you forthH3318 out of the houseH1004 of bondage; 9and I deliveredH5337 you out of the handH3027 of the EgyptiansH4713, and out of the handH3027 of all that oppressedH3905 you, and droveH1644 them out from before you, and gaveH5414 you their landH776; 10and I saidH559 unto you, I am Jehovah your GodH430; ye shall not fearH3372 the godsH430 of the AmoritesH567, in whose landH776 ye dwellH3427. But ye have not hearkened unto my voiceH6963.

11And the angelH4397 of Jehovah cameH935, and satH3427 under the oakH424 which was in OphrahH6084, that pertained unto JoashH3101 the Abiezrite: and his sonH1121 GideonH1439 was beatingH2251 out wheatH2406 in the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites. 12And the angelH4397 of Jehovah appearedH7200 unto him, and saidH559 unto him, Jehovah is with thee, thou mightyH1368 manH1368 of valor. 13And GideonH1439 saidH559 unto him, Oh, my lord, if Jehovah is with us, whyH4100 then is all this befallen us? and whereH834 are all his wondrous works which our fathersH1 told us of, sayingH559, Did not Jehovah bringH5927 us up from EgyptH4714? but nowH6258 Jehovah hath cast us off, and delivered us into the handH3709 of MidianH4080. 14And Jehovah looked upon him, and saidH559, GoH7971 in this thy might, and saveH3467 IsraelH3478 from the handH3709 of MidianH4080: have not I sentH7971 thee?
