NSB(i)
1 Again the people of Israel sinned against Jehovah. Therefore he let the people of Midian rule them for seven years.
2 The Midianites were very oppressive over Israel. So much so that the people of Israel hid from them in caves and other safe places in the mountains.
3 When the Israelites planted their crops, the Midianites and the Amalekites along with the desert tribes attacked them.
4 They camped on the land and destroyed the crops as far south as Gaza. They took all the sheep, cattle, and donkeys, and left nothing for the Israelites to live on.
5 They came with their livestock and tents, as thick as locusts. It was impossible to count the men and their camels. They entered the land and destroyed it.
6 Israel was helpless against them.
