Judges 8:6-8

Living Bible

⁶ But the leaders of Succoth replied, “You haven’t caught them yet!^[a] If we feed you and you fail, they’ll return and destroy us.”

⁷ Then Gideon warned them, “When the Lord has delivered them to us, I will return and tear your flesh with the thorns and briars of the wilderness.”

⁸ Then he went up to Penuel and asked for food there, but got the same answer.
