Judges 6:14-16

Living Bible

¹⁴ Then the Lord turned to him and said, “I will make you strong! Go and save Israel from the Midianites! I am sending you!”

¹⁵ But Gideon replied, “Sir, how can I save Israel? My family is the poorest in the whole tribe of Manasseh, and I am the least thought of in the entire family!”

¹⁶ Whereupon the Lord said to him, “But I, Jehovah,^[a] will be with you! And you shall quickly destroy the Midianite hordes!”
