Judges 8:6-8
New International Version
6 But the officials of Sukkoth(A) said, “Do you already have the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna in your possession? Why should we give bread(B) to your troops?”(C)
7 Then Gideon replied, “Just for that, when the Lord has given Zebah and Zalmunna(D) into my hand, I will tear your flesh with desert thorns and briers.”
8 From there he went up to Peniel[a](E) and made the same request of them, but they answered as the men of Sukkoth had.

English Standard Version
6 And the officials of Succoth said, (A)“Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in your hand, (B)that we should give bread to your army?” 7 So Gideon said, “Well then, when the Lord has given Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, (C)I will flail your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.” 8 And from there he went up to (D)Penuel, and spoke to them in the same way, and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered.
