Judges 6:12-14

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹² The Messenger of the Lord appeared to Gideon and said, “The Lord is with you, brave man.”

¹³ Gideon responded, “Excuse me, sir! But if the Lord is with us, why has all this happened to us? Where are all the miracles our ancestors have told us about? Didn’t they say, ‘The Lord brought us out of Egypt?’ But now the Lord has abandoned us and has handed us over to Midian.”

¹⁴ The Lord turned to him and said, “You will rescue Israel from Midian with the strength you have. I am sending you.”
