Judges 5:7-14

⁷Villages ceased in Israel — they ceased, Till that I arose — Deborah, That I arose, a mother in Israel.

⁸He chooseth new gods, Then war is at the gates! A shield is not seen — and a spear Among forty thousand in Israel.

⁹My heart is to the lawgivers of Israel, Who are offering themselves willingly among the people, Bless ye Jehovah!

¹⁰Riders on white asses — Sitters on a long robe — And walkers by the way — meditate!

¹¹By the voice of shouters Between the places of drawing water, There they give out righteous acts of Jehovah, Righteous acts of His villages in Israel, Then ruled in the gates have the people of Jehovah.

¹²Awake, awake, Deborah; Awake, awake, utter a song; Rise, Barak, and take captive thy captivity, Son of Abinoam.

¹³Then him who is left of the honourable ones He caused to rule the people of Jehovah, He caused me to rule among the mighty.

¹⁴Out of Ephraim their root is against Amalek. After thee, Benjamin, among thy peoples. Out of Machir came down lawgivers, And out of Zebulun those drawing with the reed of a writer.
