Judges 5:20-31
20From the heavens the stars fought; from their courses they fought against Sisera.21The River Kishon swept them away, the ancient river, the River Kishon.
March on, O my soul, in strength!
22Then the hooves of horses thundered—the mad galloping of his stallions.23‘Curse Meroz,’ says the angel of the LORD.‘Bitterly curse her inhabitants;for they did not come to help the LORD,to help the LORD against the mighty.’
24Most blessed among women is Jael,the wife of Heber the Kenite,most blessed of tent-dwelling women.25He asked for water, and she gave him milk.In a magnificent bowl she brought him curds.26She reached for the tent peg,her right hand for the workman’s hammer.She struck Sisera and crushed his skull;she shattered and pierced his temple.27At her feet he collapsed, he fell,there he lay still;at her feet he collapsed, he fell;where he collapsed, there he fell dead.
28Sisera’s mother looked through the window;she peered through the lattice and lamented:‘Why is his chariot so long in coming?What has delayed the clatter of his chariots?’29Her wisest ladies answer;indeed she keeps telling herself,30‘Are they not finding and dividing the spoil—a girl or two for each warrior,a plunder of dyed garments for Sisera,the spoil of embroidered garmentsfor the neck of the looter?’
31So may all Your enemies perish,O LORD!But may those who love Youshine like the sun at its brightest.”
And the land had rest for forty years.
