Judges 5:6-24

6In the daysH3117 of ShamgarH8044 the sonH1121 of AnathH6067, in the daysH3117 of JaelH3278, The roads were unused, and the travellers on highways wentH1980 by crooked pathsH734.

7The villages ceasedH2308 in IsraelH3478, CeasedH2308 until that I DeborahH1683 aroseH6965, That I aroseH6965 a motherH517 in IsraelH3478.

8They choseH977 newH2319 1godsH430; thenH227 was war in the gatesH8179: Was there a shieldH4043 or spearH7420 seenH7200 among fortyH705 thousandH505 in IsraelH3478?

9My heartH3820 is toward the governors of IsraelH3478, who offeredH5068 themselves willingly among the peopleH5971. BlessH1288 Jehovah!

10Ye that rideH7392 on white she-asses, ye that sitH3427 on carpets, and ye that walkH1980 by the wayH1870, consider.

11Because of the voiceH6963 of those who divide [the spoil] in the midst of the places of drawing water; There they rehearse the righteous acts of Jehovah, His righteous acts toward his villages in IsraelH3478. ThenH227 the peopleH5971 of Jehovah wentH3381 downH3381 to the gatesH8179.

12AwakeH5782, awakeH5782, DeborahH1683! awakeH5782, awakeH5782, utter a songH7892! AriseH6965, BarakH1301, and lead captiveH7617 thy captivesH7628, thou sonH1121 of AbinoamH42!

13ThenH227 come down, thou, the remnant of noblesH117, [as his] peopleH5971; Jehovah! come down with me in the midst of the mightyH1368 onesH1368.

14Out of EphraimH669 [cameH3381] those whose rootH8328 was in AmalekH6002; After thee was BenjaminH1144 among thy peoplesH5971. Out of Machir cameH3381 downH3381 governors, And out of ZebulunH2074 they that handled the staffH7626 of the ruler.

15And the princesH8269 in IssacharH3485 were with DeborahH1683; And IssacharH3485, like BarakH1301; They were sentH7971 into the valleyH6010 at his feetH7272. In the divisions of ReubenH7205 there were greatH1419 resolves of heartH3820!

16WhyH4100 abodest thou among the sheepfolds, To hearH8085 the bleating of the flocksH5739? In the divisions of ReubenH7205 there were greatH1419 deliberations of heartH3820!

17GileadH1568 abode beyond JordanH3383; And DanH1835, whyH4100 did he remainH3427 in shipsH591? AsherH836 satH3427 on the sea-shore, And abode in his creeks.

18ZebulunH2074 is a peopleH5971 [that] jeoparded their livesH5315 unto deathH4191, NaphtaliH5321 also, on the highH4791 placesH4791 of the fieldH7704.

19KingsH4428 cameH935, — they foughtH3898; ThenH227 foughtH3898 the kingsH4428 of CanaanH3667; At TaanachH8590, by the watersH4325 of MegiddoH4023; They tookH3947 no spoil of silverH3701.

20From heavenH8064 was the fightH3898; The starsH3556 from their courses foughtH3898 with SiseraH5516.

21The torrent of KishonH7028 swept them away, That ancient torrent, the torrent KishonH7028. My soulH5315, thou hast troddenH1869 downH1869 strengthH5797!

22ThenH227 did the horse-hoofs clatter with the coursings, The coursings of their steeds.

23CurseH779 Meroz, saith the AngelH4397 of Jehovah; CurseH779, curseH779 the inhabitantsH3427 thereof; For they cameH935 not to the helpH5833 of Jehovah, To the helpH5833 of Jehovah among the mightyH1368.

24BlessedH1288 above womenH802 shall JaelH3278 the wifeH802 of HeberH2268 the KeniteH7017 be, BlessedH1288 above womenH802 in the tentH168!
