Gideon said to him,“ Pardon me, but if the LORD is with us, why has such disaster overtaken us? Where are all his miraculous deeds our ancestors told us about? They said,‘ Did the LORD not bring us up from Egypt?’ But now the LORD has abandoned us and handed us over to Midian.”

基甸说：“主啊，耶和华若与我们同在，我们何至遭遇这一切事呢？我们的列祖不是向我们说‘耶和华领我们从埃及上来’吗？他那样奇妙的作为在哪里呢？现在他却丢弃我们，将我们交在米甸人手里。”

基甸对他说：“主啊，请容许我说，耶和华若与我们同在，我们怎么会遭遇这一切事呢？我们的列祖告诉我们：‘耶和华领我们从埃及上来’，他那奇妙的作为在哪里呢？现在耶和华却丢弃了我们，把我们交在米甸人的手掌中。”

基甸对他说：“主啊，请容许我说，耶和华若与我们同在，我们怎么会遭遇这一切事呢？我们的列祖告诉我们：‘耶和华领我们从埃及上来’，他那奇妙的作为在哪里呢？现在耶和华却丢弃了我们，把我们交在米甸人的手掌中。”

基甸说：“我主啊，如果耶和华与我们同在，我们怎会有这些遭遇？我们的祖先曾告诉我们有关耶和华带领他们离开埃及的事，如今祂那些奇妙的作为在哪里呢？现在祂已经丢弃我们，把我们交在米甸人手里。”

基甸回答他，说：“唉，我的主，如果耶和华与我们同在，我们怎会遭遇这一切事呢？我们的列祖向我们讲述的，耶和华的一切奇事在哪里呢？他们曾说：‘耶和华不是把我们从埃及领上来吗？’现在他却抛弃了我们，把我们交在米甸人手中！”

基甸說：「主啊，耶和華若與我們同在，我們何致遭遇這一切事呢？我們的列祖不是向我們說『耶和華領我們從埃及上來』嗎？他那樣奇妙的作為在哪裏呢？現在他卻丟棄我們，將我們交在米甸人手裏。」

基甸對他說：「主啊，請容許我說，耶和華若與我們同在，我們怎麼會遭遇這一切事呢？我們的列祖告訴我們：『耶和華領我們從埃及上來』，他那奇妙的作為在哪裏呢？現在耶和華卻丟棄了我們，把我們交在米甸人的手掌中。」

基甸對他說：「主啊，請容許我說，耶和華若與我們同在，我們怎麼會遭遇這一切事呢？我們的列祖告訴我們：『耶和華領我們從埃及上來』，他那奇妙的作為在哪裏呢？現在耶和華卻丟棄了我們，把我們交在米甸人的手掌中。」

基甸說：「我主啊，如果耶和華與我們同在，我們怎會有這些遭遇？我們的祖先曾告訴我們有關耶和華帶領他們離開埃及的事，如今祂那些奇妙的作為在哪裡呢？現在祂已經丟棄我們，把我們交在米甸人手裡。」

基甸回答他，說：“唉，我的主，如果耶和華與我們同在，我們怎會遭遇這一切事呢？我們的列祖向我們講述的，耶和華的一切奇事在哪裡呢？他們曾說：‘耶和華不是把我們從埃及領上來嗎？’現在他卻拋棄了我們，把我們交在米甸人手中！”

基甸對他說：『唉，我主啊，永恆主如果與我們同在，我們何至於遭遇這一切事呢？我們的祖宗向我們敘說的、永恆主一切奇妙的作為在哪裏呢？他們說：「永恆主豈不是領我們從埃及上來麼？」現在他卻丟棄了我們，將我們交在米甸人手掌中！』

基甸曰、我主歟、如耶和華偕我、何至遭此、我祖嘗言耶和華導我出埃及、今其異蹟安在、茲乃棄我、付於米甸人手、

其田曰、我主與、如耶和華祐我、奚至所遇若此、我嘗聞我父之言、昔耶和華導我族出埃及、今其異跡安在、斯時耶和華遺棄我儕、付我於米田人手。

基甸曰、我主歟、如耶和華祐我、何至所遇若此、我列祖嘗向我傳述曰、主導我出伊及、今主之異跡安在、斯時主竟棄我、付我於米甸人手、

“ Pardon me, my lord,” Gideon replied,“ but if the Lord is with us, why has all this happened to us? Where are all his wonders that our ancestors told us about when they said,‘ Did not the Lord bring us up out of Egypt?’ But now the Lord has abandoned us and given us into the hand of Midian.”

“ Pardon me, sir,” Gideon replied,“ you say the Lord is with us. Then why has all this happened to us? Where are all the wonderful things he has done? Our people of long ago told us about them. They said,‘ Didn’t the Lord bring us up out of Egypt?’ But now the Lord has deserted us. He has handed us over to Midian.”

And Gideon said to him,“ Please, my lord, if the Lord is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all his wonderful deeds that our fathers recounted to us, saying,‘ Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt?’ But now the Lord has forsaken us and given us into the hand of Midian.”

“ Sir,” Gideon replied,“ if the Lord is with us, why has all this happened to us? And where are all the miracles our ancestors told us about? Didn’t they say,‘ The Lord brought us up out of Egypt’? But now the Lord has abandoned us and handed us over to the Midianites.”

Gideon said to him,“ Please, my lord, if the LORD is with us, why has all this happened? And where are all his wonders that our ancestors told us about? They said,‘ Hasn’t the LORD brought us out of Egypt?’ But now the LORD has abandoned us and handed us over to Midian.”

Then Gideon said to him,“ O my lord, if the Lord is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all His miracles which our fathers told us about, saying,‘ Did the Lord not bring us up from Egypt?’ But now the Lord has abandoned us and handed us over to Midian.”

Gideon said to Him,“ O my Lord, if the Lord is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all His miracles which our fathers told us about, saying,‘ Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt?’ But now the Lord has forsaken us and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.”

And Gideon said unto him, Oh, my lord, if Jehovah is with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where are all his wondrous works which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not Jehovah bring us up from Egypt? but now Jehovah hath cast us off, and delivered us into the hand of Midian.

Gideon said to Him,“ Please Sir, if the Lord is with us, why has all this happened? And where are all His wonders that our fathers told us about? They said,‘ Hasn’t the Lord brought us out of Egypt?’ But now the Lord has abandoned us and handed us over to Midian.”

And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if the LORD be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where[ be] all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt? but now the LORD hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.

Gideon said to him,“ Oh, my lord, if Yahweh is with us, why then has all this happened to us? Where are all his wondrous works which our fathers told us of, saying,‘ Didn’t Yahweh bring us up from Egypt?’ But now Yahweh has cast us off, and delivered us into the hand of Midian.”

The oppressed and the poor look for water, but there is none; their tongues are parched from thirst. I, the LORD, will respond to their prayers; I, the God of Israel, will not abandon them.

O God, we have clearly heard; our ancestors have told us what you did in their days, in ancient times.

He met Asa and told him,“ Listen to me, Asa and all Judah and Benjamin! The LORD is with you when you are loyal to him. If you seek him, he will respond to you, but if you reject him, he will reject you.

And the LORD said,“ My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”And Moses said to him,“ If your presence does not go with us, do not take us up from here.For how will it be known then that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people? Is it not by your going with us, so that we will be distinguished, I and your people, from all the people who are on the face of the earth?”

Where are your earlier faithful deeds, O Lord, the ones performed in accordance with your reliable oath to David?

However, if you turn aside and do not obey, but are lured away to worship and serve other gods,I declare to you this very day that you will certainly perish! You will not extend your time in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess.

What we have heard and learned– that which our ancestors have told us–we will not hide from their descendants. We will tell the next generation about the LORD’s praiseworthy acts, about his strength and the amazing things he has done.

I asked,“ Will the Lord reject me forever? Will he never again show me his favor?Has his loyal love disappeared forever? Has his promise failed forever?Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has his anger stifled his compassion?”

But the children struggled inside her, and she said,“ If it is going to be like this, I’m not so sure I want to be pregnant!” So she asked the LORD,

Look, the LORD’s hand is not too weak to deliver you; his ear is not too deaf to hear you.But your sinful acts have alienated you from your God; your sins have caused him to reject you and not listen to your prayers.

Do not reject me! Do not push your servant away in anger! You are my deliverer! Do not forsake or abandon me, O God who vindicates me!

then they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that you, LORD, are among this people, that you, LORD, are seen face to face, that your cloud stands over them, and that you go before them by day in a pillar of cloud and in a pillar of fire by night.If you kill this entire people at once, then the nations that have heard of your fame will say,

At that time my anger will erupt against them and I will abandon them and hide my face from them until they are devoured. Many disasters and distresses will overcome them so that they will say at that time,‘ Have not these disasters overcome us because our God is not among us?’

Then all the nations will ask,“ Why has the LORD done all this to this land? What is this fierce, heated display of anger all about?”

Look down from heaven and take notice, from your holy, majestic palace! Where are your zeal and power? Do not hold back your tender compassion!

The LORD said to me,“ Jeremiah, when one of these people, or a prophet, or a priest asks you,‘ What burdensome message do you have from the LORD?’ Tell them,‘ You are the burden, and I will cast you away. I, the LORD, affirm it!

What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
