Judges 6:1-6

EJ2000(i) 1 ¶ And the sons of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and the LORD delivered them into the hands of Midian for seven years. 2 And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel, and because of the Midianites the sons of Israel made dens in the mountains and caves and strongholds. 3 For when those of Israel had sown, the Midianites would come up and the Amalekites and the sons of the east. They would come up against them 4 and encamp against them and destroy the fruits of the earth as far as Gaza, and they would leave nothing to eat in Israel neither sheep nor ox nor ass. 5 For they would come up with their livestock and their tents in a great multitude like locusts, for there was no number in them nor in their camels, and they would enter into the land destroying it. 6 And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites, and the sons of Israel cried unto the LORD.
