← Judges 6:4	Judges 6:5 (KJV)	Judges 6:6 →
And they encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, till thou come unto Gaza, and left no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass.	For they came up with their cattle and their tents, and they came as grasshoppers for multitude; [for] both they and their camels were without number: and they entered into the land to destroy it.	And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites; and the children of Israel cried unto the LORD.
