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!”

Judges 6:14-16
New International Version
14 The Lord turned to him and said, “Go in the strength you have(A) and save(B) Israel out of Midian’s hand. Am I not sending you?”
15 “Pardon me, my lord,” Gideon replied, “but how can I save Israel? My clan(C) is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family.(D)”
16 The Lord answered, “I will be with you(E), and you will strike down all the Midianites, leaving none alive.”
