Whenever the Israelites planted their crops, the Midianites, Amalekites and other eastern peoples invaded the country.

Each year the people planted their crops. When they did, the Midianites came into the country and attacked it. So did the Amalekites and other tribes from the east.

For whenever the Israelites planted crops, the Midianites and the Amalekites and the people of the East would come up against them.

Whenever the Israelites planted crops, the Midianites, Amalekites, and the people of the east came and attacked them.

For whenever Israel had sown, the Midianites would come up with the Amalekites and the people of the east and march against them.

So it was, whenever Israel had sown, Midianites would come up; also Amalekites and the people of the East would come up against them.

And so it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east; they came up against them;

Whenever the Israelites planted crops, the Midianites, Amalekites, and the Qedemites came and attacked them.

And[ so] it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east, even they came up against them;

So it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites, the Amalekites, and the children of the east came up against them.

Eglon enlisted the Ammonites and Amalekites as allies, and then he went out and defeated Israel, taking possession of Jericho, the city of palms.

The armies of Midian, Amalek, and the people of the east had settled in the valley like a swarm of locusts. Their camels were like grains of sand on the seashore— too many to count!

He owned 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 500 teams of oxen, and 500 female donkeys. He also had many servants. He was, in fact, the richest person in that entire area.

Then Jacob hurried on, finally arriving in the land of the east.

By this time Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor with about 15,000 warriors— all that remained of the allied armies of the east, for 120,000 had already been killed.

In fact, his wisdom exceeded that of all the wise men of the East and the wise men of Egypt.

Soon afterward the armies of Midian, Amalek, and the people of the east formed an alliance against Israel and crossed the Jordan, camping in the valley of Jezreel.

You will plant crops but not harvest them. You will press your olives but not get enough oil to anoint yourselves. You will trample the grapes but get no juice to make your wine.

then let someone else eat the crops I have planted. Let all that I have planted be uprooted.

I will punish you. I will bring sudden terrors upon you— wasting diseases and burning fevers that will cause your eyes to fail and your life to ebb away. You will plant your crops in vain because your enemies will eat them.

“ You will be engaged to a woman, but another man will sleep with her. You will build a house, but someone else will live in it. You will plant a vineyard, but you will never enjoy its fruit.Your ox will be butchered before your eyes, but you will not eat a single bite of the meat. Your donkey will be taken from you, never to be returned. Your sheep and goats will be given to your enemies, and no one will be there to help you.You will watch as your sons and daughters are taken away as slaves. Your heart will break for them, but you won’t be able to help them.A foreign nation you have never heard about will eat the crops you worked so hard to grow. You will suffer under constant oppression and harsh treatment.

Its armies will devour your livestock and crops, and you will be destroyed. They will leave you no grain, new wine, olive oil, calves, or lambs, and you will starve to death.

In those days people will live in the houses they build and eat the fruit of their own vineyards.Unlike the past, invaders will not take their houses and confiscate their vineyards. For my people will live as long as trees, and my chosen ones will have time to enjoy their hard won gains.
