Judges 6:14-16

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁴ Then the Lord turned to him and said, ‘Go in this might of yours and deliver Israel from the hand of Midian; I hereby commission you.’ ¹⁵ He responded, ‘But sir, how can I deliver Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family.’ ¹⁶ The Lord said to him, ‘But I will be with you, and you shall strike down the Midianites, every one of them.’
