Judges 6:12-14

Living Bible

¹² The Angel of the Lord appeared to him and said, “Mighty soldier, the Lord is with you!”

¹³ “Stranger,” Gideon replied, “if the Lord is with us, why has all this happened to us? And where are all the miracles our ancestors have told us about—such as when God brought them out of Egypt? Now the Lord has thrown us away and has let the Midianites completely ruin us.”

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!”
