Yalkut Shimoni on Nach 60:2

Curated by Arthur·Told by Maggid·

Rabbi Huna bar Pappa said: A person should always be careful with the produce inside his house, for Israel were never called poor except over matters of produce, as it is said, "And it was, when Israel had sown, that Midian came up, and Amalek" (Judges 6:3); and it is written, "And Israel was greatly impoverished" (Judges 6:6).
