1 And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord: and he delivered them into the hand of Madian seven years.
2 And they were grievously oppressed by them. And they made themselves dens and eaves in the mountains, and strong holds to resist.
3 And when Israel had sown, Madian and Amalec, and the rest of the eastern nations came up:
4 And pitching their tents among them, wasted all things as they were in the blade even to the entrance of Gaza: and they left nothing at all in Israel for sustenance of life, nor sheep, nor oxen, nor asses.
5 For they and all their flocks came with their tents, and like locusts filled all places, an innumerable multitude of men, and of camels, wasting whatsoever they touched.
