Judges 8:14-16

New Catholic Bible

¹⁴ He captured a young man from Succoth and questioned him. He wrote down the names of the seventy-seven princes and elders of Succoth for him. ¹⁵ He came to the men of Succoth and said, “Look at Zebah and Zalmunna, the ones about whom you taunted me when you said, ‘Are Zebah and Zalmunna in your hands now that we should give bread to your weary men?’ ” ¹⁶ He picked out the elders of the city, and he taught the men of Succoth a lesson with desert thorns and briars.
