Judges 18:23-25
New English Translation
23 When they called out to the Danites, the Danites[a] turned around and said to Micah, “Why have you gathered together?” 24 He said, “You stole my gods that I made, as well as this priest, and then went away. What do I have left? How can you have the audacity to say to me, ‘What do you want?’”[b] 25 The Danites said to him, “Don’t say another word to us, or some very angry men[c] will attack you, and you and your family will die.”[d]
