Judges 5:20-31

20They foughtH3898 from heavenH8064; the starsH3556 in their coursesH4546 foughtH3898 against SiseraH5516.1 21The riverH5158 of KishonH7028 swept them awayH1640, that ancientH6917 riverH5158, the riverH5158 KishonH7028. O my soulH5315, thou hast trodden downH1869 strengthH5797. 22Then were the horsehoofsH6119H5483 brokenH1986 by the means of the pransingsH1726, the pransingsH1726 of their mighty onesH47.2 23CurseH779 ye MerozH4789, saidH559 the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068, curseH779 ye bitterlyH779 its inhabitantsH3427; because they cameH935 not to the helpH5833 of the LORDH3068, to the helpH5833 of the LORDH3068 against the mightyH1368.

24BlessedH1288 above womenH802 shall JaelH3278 the wifeH802 of HeberH2268 the KeniteH7017 be, blessedH1288 shall she be above womenH802 in the tentH168. 25He askedH7592 waterH4325, and she gaveH5414 him milkH2461; she brought forthH7126 butterH2529 in a lordlyH117 dishH5602. 26She putH7971 her handH3027 to the nailH3489, and her right handH3225 to the workmen’sH6001 hammerH1989; and with the hammer she smoteH1986 SiseraH5516, she smote offH4277 his headH7218, when she had piercedH4272 and struck throughH2498 his templesH7541.3 27At her feetH7272 he bowedH3766, he fellH5307, he lay downH7901: at her feetH7272 he bowedH3766, he fellH5307: whereH834 he bowedH3766, there he fell downH5307 deadH7703.45 28The motherH517 of SiseraH5516 lookedH8259 out at a windowH2474, and criedH2980 through the latticeH822, Why is his chariotH7393 so longH954 in comingH935? why tarryH309 the wheelsH6471 of his chariotsH4818? 29Her wiseH2450 ladiesH8282 answeredH6030 her, yea, she returnedH7725 answerH561 to herself,6 30Have they not foundH4672? have they not dividedH2505 the spoilH7998; to everyH7218 manH1397 a damselH7356 or twoH7361; to SiseraH5516 a spoilH7998 of dyed garmentsH6648, a spoilH7998 of dyed garmentsH6648 of needleworkH7553, of dyed garmentsH6648 of needlework on both sidesH7553, for the necksH6677 of them that take the spoilH7998?7 31So let all thy enemiesH341 perishH6, O LORDH3068: but let them that loveH157 him be as the sunH8121 when he goeth forthH3318 in his mightH1369. And the landH776 had restH8252 fortyH705 yearsH8141.
