Judges 8:7-9

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁷ Gideon replied, ‘Well then, when the Lord has given Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, I will trample your flesh on the thorns of the wilderness and on briers.’ ⁸ From there he went up to Penuel, and made the same request of them; and the people of Penuel answered him as the people of Succoth had answered. ⁹ So he said to the people of Penuel, ‘When I come back victorious, I will break down this tower.’
