• JDG 7:23–25, engwebp

  ²³The men of Israel were gathered together out of Naphtali, out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued Midian.

  ²⁴Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill country of Ephraim, saying, “Come down against Midian and take the waters before them as far as Beth Barah, even the Jordan!” So all the men of Ephraim were gathered together and took the waters as far as Beth Barah, even the Jordan.

  ²⁵They took the two princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb. They killed Oreb at Oreb’s rock, and Zeeb they killed at Zeeb’s wine press, as they pursued Midian. Then they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyond the Jordan.

  ¹The men of Ephraim said to him, “Why have you treated us this way, that you didn’t call us when you went to fight with Midian?” They rebuked him sharply.

  ²He said to them, “What have I now done in comparison with you? Isn’t the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?

  ³God has delivered into your hand the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb! What was I able to do in comparison with you?” Then their anger was abated toward him when he had said that.

• PSA 83:1–18, engwebp

  ¹A song. A Psalm by Asaph. God, don’t keep silent. Don’t keep silent, and don’t be still, God.

  ²For, behold, your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate you have lifted up their heads.

  ³They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones.

  ⁴“Come,” they say, “let’s destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”

  ⁵For they have conspired together with one mind. They form an alliance against you.

  ⁶The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;

  ⁷Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;

  ⁸Assyria also is joined with them. They have helped the children of Lot. Selah.

  ⁹Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;

  ¹⁰who perished at Endor, who became as dung for the earth.

  ¹¹Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,

  ¹²who said, “Let’s take possession of God’s pasture lands.”

  ¹³My God, make them like tumbleweed, like chaff before the wind.

  ¹⁴As the fire that burns the forest, as the flame that sets the mountains on fire,

  ¹⁵so pursue them with your tempest, and terrify them with your storm.

  ¹⁶Fill their faces with confusion, that they may seek your name, LORD.

  ¹⁷Let them be disappointed and dismayed forever. Yes, let them be confounded and perish;

  ¹⁸that they may know that you alone, whose name is the LORD, are the Most High over all the earth.
