Judges 5:20-31
201The starsH3556 foughtH3898 from heavenH8064, From their pathsH4546 they foughtH3898 againstH5973 SiseraH5516.21The torrentH5158 of KishonH7028 sweptH1640 them awayH1640, The ancientH6917 torrentH5158, the torrentH5158 KishonH7028. 2My soulH5315, marchH1869 on with strengthH5797!223ThenH227 the horses’H5483 hoofsH6119 beatH1986 From the gallopingH1726, the gallopingH1726 of his mightyH47 stallionsH47.23‘CurseH779 MerozH4789,’ saidH559 the angelH4397 of the LordH3068, ‘UtterlyH779 curseH779 its inhabitantsH3427, 4BecauseH3588 they did not comeH935 to the helpH5833 of the LordH3068, To the helpH5833 of the LordH3068 against the warriorsH1368.’
24“5Most blessedH1288 of womenH802 is JaelH3278, The wifeH802 of HeberH2268 the KeniteH7017; Most blessedH1288 is she of womenH802 in the tentH168.25He askedH7592 for waterH4325, she gaveH5414 him milkH2461; In a magnificentH117 bowlH5602 she broughtH7126 him curdsH2529.26She reachedH7971 outH7971 her handH3027 for the tentH3489 pegH3489, And her rightH3225 handH3225 for the workmen’sH6001 hammerH1989. Then she struckH1986 SiseraH5516, she smashedH4277 his headH7218; And she shatteredH4272 and piercedH2498 his templeH7541.27BetweenH996 her feetH7272 he bowedH3766, he fellH5307, he layH7901; BetweenH996 her feetH7272 he bowedH3766, he fellH5307; WhereH834 he bowedH3766, thereH8033 he fellH5307 6deadH7703.
28“Out of the windowH2474 she lookedH8259 and wailedH2980, The motherH517 of SiseraH5516 throughH1157 the 7latticeH822, ‘WhyH4069 does his chariotH7393 delayH309 in comingH935? WhyH4069 do the 8hoofbeatsH6471 of his chariotsH4818 delayH309?’29Her wiseH2450 princessesH8282 would answerH6030 her, IndeedH637 she repeatsH7725 her wordsH561 to herself,30‘9Are they not findingH4672, are they not dividingH2505 the spoilsH7998? A concubineH7358, two concubinesH7358 for everyH7218 warriorH1397; To SiseraH5516 a spoilH7998 of dyedH6648 clothH6648, A spoilH7998 of dyedH6648 clothH6648 embroideredH7553, DyedH6648 clothH6648 of double embroideryH7553 on the 10neckH6677 of the plundererH7998?’3111May allH3605 Your enemiesH340 perishH6 inH3651 thisH3651 wayH3651, LordH3068; 12But may those who loveH157 Him be like the risingH3318 of the sunH8121 in its mightH1369.” And the landH776 wasH8252 atH8252 restH8252 for fortyH705 yearsH8141.
