07:005:030 Have they not sped? have they not divided
the prey; to every
man
a damsel or two; to Sisera a prey of divers colours,
a
prey
of divers colours of needlework, of divers colours
of
needlework
on both sides, meet for the necks of them that take
the
spoil?
07:005:031 So let all thine enemies perish, O lord:
but let them that
love
him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might.
And
the
land had rest forty years.
07:006:001 And the children of Israel did evil in
the sight of the lord:
and
the lord delivered them into the hand of Midian
seven
years.
07:006:002 And the hand of Midian prevailed against
Israel: and because
of
the Midianites the children of Israel made them the
dens
which
are in the mountains, and caves, and strong holds.
07:006:003 And so it was, when Israel had sown, that
the Midianites came
up,
and the Amalekites, and the children of the east, even
they
came up against them;
07:006:004 And they encamped against them, and destroyed
the increase of
the
earth, till thou come unto Gaza, and left no sustenance
for
Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass.
07:006:005 For they came up with their cattle and
their tents, and they
came
as grasshoppers for multitude; for both they and their
camels
were without number: and they entered into the
land to
destroy
it.
07:006:006 And Israel was greatly impoverished because
of the Midianites;
and
the children of Israel cried unto the lord.
07:006:007 And it came to pass, when the children
of Israel cried unto
the
lord because of the Midianites,
07:006:008 That the lord sent a prophet unto
the children of Israel,
which
said unto them, Thus saith the lord God of Israel,
I
brought
you up from Egypt, and brought you forth out of the
house
of bondage;
07:006:009 And I delivered you out of the hand of
the Egyptians, and out
of
the hand of all that oppressed you, and drave them
out from
before
you, and gave you their land;
07:006:010 And I said unto you, I am the lord
your God; fear not the gods
of
the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but ye have
not
obeyed
my voice.
07:006:011 And there came an angel of the lord,
and sat under an oak
which
was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite:
and
his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to
hide it
from
the Midianites.
07:006:012 And the angel of the lord appeared
unto him, and said unto
him,
The lord is with thee, thou mighty man of valour.
