20From heavenH8064 foughtH3898 the starsH3556,From their courses they foughtH3898 against SiseraH5516.21The riverH5158 KishonH7028 swept them away,That ancient riverH5158, the riverH5158 KishonH7028.O my soulH5315, marchH1869 on with strengthH5797.22ThenH227 did the horsehoofs stampBy reason of the prancings, the prancings of their strong onesH47.23CurseH779 ye Meroz, saidH559 the angelH4397 of Jehovah.CurseH779 ye bitterly the inhabitantsH3427 thereof,Because they cameH935 not to the helpH5833 of Jehovah,To the helpH5833 of Jehovah against the mightyH1368.24BlessedH1288 above womenH802 shall JaelH3278 be,The wifeH802 of HeberH2268 the KeniteH7017;BlessedH1288 shall she be above womenH802 in the tentH168.25He askedH7592 waterH4325, andshe gaveH5414 him milkH2461;She broughtH7126 him butter in a lordly dish.26She put her handH3027 to the tent-pin,And her rightH3225 handH3027 to the workmen’s hammer;And with the hammer she smote SiseraH5516, she smote through his headH7218;Yea, she pierced and struck through his templesH7541.27At her feetH7272 he bowedH3766, he fellH5307, he layH7901;At her feetH7272 he bowedH3766, he fellH5307:WhereH834 he bowedH3766, there he fellH5307 downH7901 dead.28Through the windowH2474 she lookedH8259 forth, and cried,The motherH517 of SiseraH5516criedthrough the lattice,WhyH4069 is his chariotH4818 so long in comingH935?WhyH4069 tarry the wheels of his chariotsH7393?29Her wiseH2450 ladiesH8282 answered her,Yea, she returnedH7725 answerH6030 to herself,30Have they not foundH4672, have they not dividedH2505 the spoilH7998?A damsel, two damsels to every manH1397;To SiseraH5516 a spoilH7998 of dyed garments,A spoilH7998 of dyed garments embroideredH7553,Of dyed garments embroideredH7553 on both sides, on the necksH6677 of the spoilH7998?31SoH3651 let all thine enemiesH341 perishH6, O Jehovah:But let them that loveH157 him be as the sunH8121 when he goeth forthH3318 in his might.

And the landH776 had rest fortyH705 yearsH8141.
