God gave Oreb and Zeeb, the Midianite leaders, into your hands. What was I able to do compared to you?” At this, their resentment against him subsided.

God handed Oreb and Zeeb over to you. They were Midianite leaders. So what was I able to do compared to what you did?” After Gideon had said that, they didn’t feel angry with him anymore.

God has given into your hands the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb. What have I been able to do in comparison with you?” Then their anger against him subsided when he said this.

It was to you that God handed over the Midianite generals, Oreb and Zeeb! What did I accomplish to rival that?” When he said this, they calmed down.

A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare.

Gideon also sent messengers throughout the hill country of Ephraim, saying,“ Come down to attack the Midianites. Cut them off at the shallow crossings of the Jordan River at Beth barah.” So all the men of Ephraim did as they were told.They captured Oreb and Zeeb, the two Midianite commanders, killing Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb at the winepress of Zeeb. And they continued to chase the Midianites. Afterward the Israelites brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon, who was by the Jordan River.

Because of the privilege and authority God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us.

They did not conquer the land with their swords; it was not their own strong arm that gave them victory. It was your right hand and strong arm and the blinding light from your face that helped them, for you loved them.

Timely advice is lovely, like golden apples in a silver basket.

Better to be patient than powerful; better to have self control than to conquer a city.

Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name goes all the glory for your unfailing love and faithfulness.

In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you.

The Lord is my strength and my song; he has given me victory.Songs of joy and victory are sung in the camp of the godly. The strong right arm of the Lord has done glorious things!The strong right arm of the Lord is raised in triumph. The strong right arm of the Lord has done glorious things!

Yet I dare not boast about anything except what Christ has done through me, bringing the Gentiles to God by my message and by the way I worked among them.They were convinced by the power of miraculous signs and wonders and by the power of God’s Spirit. In this way, I have fully presented the Good News of Christ from Jerusalem all the way to Illyricum.

Patience can persuade a prince, and soft speech can break bones.

Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.

You know the saying,‘ One plants and another harvests.’ And it’s true.
