Curtains

Disaster on disaster is proclaimed,

For the whole land is devastated;
Suddenly my tents are devastated,
My curtains in an instant.

My tent is destroyed,
And all my ropes are broken;
My sons have gone from me and are no more.
There is no one to stretch out my tent again
Or to set up my curtains.

I saw the tents of Cushan under distress,
The tent curtains of the land of Midian were trembling.

Camels

Then they sat down to eat a meal. And as they raised their eyes and looked, behold, a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing

aromatic gum and

balm and myrrh, on their way to bring them down to Egypt.

For they would come up with their livestock and their tents, they would come in like locusts for number, both they and their camels were innumerable; and they came into the land to devastate it.

Now the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the sons of the east were lying in the valley as numerous as locusts; and their camels were without number, as numerous as the sand on the seashore.

Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, “Rise up yourself, and fall on us; for as the man, so is his strength.” So Gideon arose and killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and took the crescent ornaments which were on their camels’ necks.

They were helped against them, and the Hagrites and all who were with them were given into their hand; for they cried out to God in the battle, and He answered their prayers because they trusted in Him.

His possessions also were 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 500 yoke of oxen, 500 female donkeys, and very many servants; and that man was the greatest of all the men of the east.

Fear

“Damascus has become helpless;
She has turned away to flee,
And panic has gripped her;

Distress and pangs have taken hold of her

Like a woman in childbirth.

Do not go out into the field

And do not walk on the road,
For the enemy has a sword,

Terror is on every side.

For I have heard the

slander of many,

Terror is on every side;

While they took counsel together against me,
They schemed to take away my life.

we are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing;

For even when we came into Macedonia our flesh had no rest, but we were afflicted on every side: conflicts without, fears within.
