Gideon said to the men of Israel, I will not rule over you, and my son will not rule over you; the Lord will rule over you.
Judges 8:23
It depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy.
Romans 9:16
| 22 Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, “Rule over us, you and your son and your grandson also, for you have saved us from the hand of Midian.” |
| 23 Gideon said to them, “I will not rule over you, and my son will not rule over you; the Lord will rule over you.” |
| 24 And Gideon said to them, “Let me make a request of you: every one of you give me the earrings from his spoil.” (For they had golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.) |
| 15 For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” |
| 16 So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy. |
| 17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.” |
