Because the hungry eat up his harvest,
[a]Taking it even from the thorns,
[b]And a snare snatches their [c]substance.

The net takes him by the heel,
And (A)a snare lays hold of him.
10 A noose is hidden for him on the ground,
And a trap for him in the road.
11 (B)Terrors frighten him on every side,
And drive him to his feet.
12 His strength is starved,
And (C)destruction is ready at his side.
13 It devours patches of his skin;
The firstborn of death devours his [a]limbs.
14 He is uprooted from (D)the shelter of his tent,
And they parade him before the king of terrors.
15 They dwell in his tent who are none of his;
Brimstone is scattered on his dwelling.
16 (E)His roots are dried out below,
And his branch withers above.
17 (F)The memory of him perishes from the earth,
And he has no name [b]among the renowned.
18 [c]He is driven from light into darkness,
And chased out of the world.
19 (G)He has neither son nor posterity among his people,
Nor any remaining in his dwellings.

So it was, whenever Israel had sown, Midianites would come up; also Amalekites and the (A)people of the East would come up against them. Then they would encamp against them and (B)destroy the produce of the earth as far as Gaza, and leave no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep nor ox nor (C)donkey. For they would come up with their livestock and their tents, coming in as numerous as locusts; both they and their camels were [a]without number; and they would enter the land to destroy it. So Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites, and the children of Israel (D)cried out to the Lord.
