Judges 5:6-11

6In the daysH3117 of ShamgarH8044 the sonH1121 of AnathH6067, in the daysH3117 of JaelH3278, the highwaysH734 were unoccupied, and the travellers walkedH1980 throughH1980 byways.

7The rulers ceasedH2308 in IsraelH3478, they ceasedH2308, untilH5704 that I DeborahH1683 aroseH6965, that I aroseH6965 a motherH517 in IsraelH3478.

8They choseH977 newH2319 godsH430; then was warH3901 in the gatesH8179: was there a shieldH4043 or spearH7420 seenH7200 among fortyH705 thousandH505 in IsraelH3478?

9My heartH3820 is toward the governors of IsraelH3478, that offeredH5068 themselves willinglyH5068 among the peopleH5971: blessH1288 ye the LORDH3068.

10Tell of it, ye that rideH7392 on whiteH6715 asses, ye that sitH3427 on rich carpetsH4055, and ye that walkH1980 by the wayH1870.

11Far from the noiseH6963 of archers, in the placesH4857 of drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteousH6666 actsH6666 of the LORDH3068, even the righteousH6666 actsH6666 of his rule in IsraelH3478. Then the peopleH5971 of the LORDH3068 wentH3381 downH3381 to the gatesH8179.
