5:31. So let all thy enemies perish, O Lord: but let them that love thee shine, as the sun shineth in his rising.
5:32. And the land rested for forty years.
Judges Chapter 6
The people for their sins, are oppressed by the Madianites. Gedeon is called to deliver them.
6:1. And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord: and he delivered them into the hand of Madian seven years,
6:2. And they were grievously oppressed by them. And they made themselves dens and caves in the mountains, and strong holds to resist.
6:3. And when Israel had sown, Madian and Amalec, and the rest of the eastern nations, came up:
6:4. And pitching their tents among them, wasted all things as they were in the blade, even to the entrance of Gaza: and they left nothing at all in Israel for sustenance of life, nor sheep, nor oxen, nor asses.
6:5. For they and all their flocks came with their tents, and like locusts filled all places, an innumerable multitude of men, and of camels, wasting whatsoever they touched.
6:6. And Israel was humbled exceedingly in the sight of Madian.
