Judges 8:7-9

New American Standard Bible

⁷ So Gideon said, “For this answer, ^(A)when the Lord has handed over to me Zebah and Zalmunna, I will ^[a]thrash your ^[b]bodies with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.” ⁸ Then he went up from there to ^[c](B)Penuel and spoke similarly to them; and the men of Penuel answered him just as the men of Succoth had answered. ⁹ So he said also to the men of ^[d]Penuel, “When I return safely, ^(C)I will tear down this tower.”
