7People left their small villages, and moved into the walled cities until I, Deborah, became their leader. I became like a mother to the Israeli people.
8When the Israeli people abandoned Yahweh and chose new gods, enemies attacked the gates of the cities, and then they took away the shields and spears from 40,000 Israeli soldiers. Not one shield or spear was left.
9I am thankful for the leaders and soldiers who volunteered to fight. Praise Yahweh for them!
10You wealthy people who ride on donkeys, sitting on nice padded saddles, and you people who just walk on the road, you all listen!
