Judges 6:11-13

New Catholic Bible

¹¹ The angel came and sat under the oak in Ophrah^[a] that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite. It was there that Gideon, his son, was threshing wheat in a winepress to hide his activities from the Midianites. ¹² When the angel of the Lord appeared, he said, “The Lord is with you, O mighty warrior.” ¹³ Gideon said to him, “O my Lord, if the Lord is with us, then why has all of this happened to us? Where are all his wonders that our fathers told us about when they said, ‘Did the Lord not bring us up from Egypt?’ But now the Lord has abandoned us into the hands of the Midianites.”
