Judges 6:14-16

International Standard Version

¹⁴ The Lord looked straight at him and replied, “Go with this determination^[a] of yours and deliver Israel from Midian’s domination. I’ve directed^[b] you, haven’t I?”

¹⁵ “Right…,” Gideon^[c] responded. “Sir, how will I deliver Israel? Look—my family is the weakest in Manasseh, and I’m the youngest in my father’s household.”

¹⁶ The Lord told him, “Because I’ll be with you, and you’ll defeat Midian—every single one of them!”
