7Country towns were no more in Israel, ***were no more, till you, Deborah, came up, till you came up as a mother in Israel.
8They had no one to make arms, there were no more armed men in the towns; was there a body-cover or a spear to be seen among forty thousand in Israel?
9Come, you rulers of Israel, you who gave yourselves freely among the people: give praise to the Lord.
10Let them give thought to it, who go on white asses, and those who are walking on the road.
