And the hand H3027 of Midian H4080 prevailed H5810 against H5921 Israel: H3478 and because H6440 of the Midianites H4080 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 made H6213 them the dens H4492 which H834 are in the mountains, H2022 and caves, H4631 and strong H4679 holds. H4679

And they encamped H2583 against H5921 them, and destroyed H7843 the increase H2981 of the earth, H776 till H5704 you come H935 to Gaza, H5804 and left H7604 no H3808 sustenance H4241 for Israel, H3478 neither sheep, H7716 nor ox, H7794 nor ass. H2543

And Israel H3478 was greatly H3966 impoverished H1809 because H6440 of the Midianites; H4080 and the children H1121 of Israel H3478 cried H2199 to the LORD. H3068

And that year H8141 they vexed H7492 and oppressed H7533 the children H1121 of Israel: H3478 eighteen H8083 H6240 years, H8141 all H3605 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 that were on the other H5676 side H5676 Jordan H3383 in the land H776 of the Amorites, H567 which H834 is in Gilead. H1568

And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 cried H2199 to the LORD, H3068 saying, H559 We have sinned H2398 against you, both because H3588 we have forsaken H5800 our God, H430 and also served H5647 Baalim. H1168

The Zidonians H6722 also, and the Amalekites, H6003 and the Maonites, H4584 did oppress H3905 you; and you cried H6817 to me, and I delivered H3467 you out of their hand. H3027

Go H3212 and cry H2199 to the gods H430 which H834 you have chosen; H977 let them deliver H3467 you in the time H6256 of your tribulation. H6869

And they put H5493 away H5493 the strange H5236 gods H430 from among H7130 them, and served H5647 the LORD: H3068 and his soul H5315 was grieved H7114 for the misery H5999 of Israel. H3478

And the people H5971 and princes H8269 of Gilead H1568 said H559 one H376 to another, H7453 What H4310 man H376 is he that will begin H2490 to fight H3898 against the children H1121 of Ammon? H5983 he shall be head H7218 over all H3605 the inhabitants H3427 of Gilead. H1568

But after they had rest, H5117 they did H6213 evil H7451 again H7725 before H6440 you: therefore left H5800 you them in the land H3027 of their enemies, H341 so that they had the dominion H7287 over them: yet when they returned, H7725 and cried H2199 to you, you heard H8085 them from heaven; H8064 and many H7227 times H6256 did you deliver H5337 them according to your mercies; H7356

Yet many H7227 years H8141 did you forbear H4900 them, and testified H5749 against them by your spirit H7307 in your prophets: H5030 yet would they not give ear: H238 therefore gave H5414 you them into the hand H3027 of the people H5971 of the lands. H776

Now H6258 therefore, our God, H430 the great, H1419 the mighty, H1368 and the terrible H3372 God, H410 who keep H8104 covenant H1285 and mercy, H2617 let not all H3605 the trouble H8513 seem H4591 little H4591 before H6440 you, that has come H4672 on us, on our kings, H4428 on our princes, H8269 and on our priests, H3548 and on our prophets, H5030 and on our fathers, H1 and on all H3605 your people, H5971 since the time H3117 of the kings H4428 of Assyria H804 to this H2088 day. H3117

Neither H3808 have our kings, H4428 our princes, H8269 our priests, H3548 nor H3808 our fathers, H1 kept H6213 your law, H8451 nor H3808 listened H7181 to your commandments H4687 and your testimonies, H5715 with which H834 you did testify H5749 against them.

Behold, H2009 we are servants H5650 this day, H3117 and for the land H776 that you gave H5414 to our fathers H1 to eat H398 the fruit H6529 thereof and the good H2898 thereof, behold, H2009 we are servants H5650 in it:

And because of all H3605 this H2063 we make H3772 a sure H548 covenant, and write H3789 it; and our princes, H8269 Levites, H3881 and priests, H3548 seal H2856 to it.
