Judges 5:26-28

New Catholic Bible

²⁶ Her hand reached for a tent peg,
    her right hand for a workman’s hammer.
She struck Sisera; she crushed his head,
    she pierced and bored through his temple.
²⁷ He sank down to her feet,
    fell down and lay there.
At her feet he sank and fell down;
    where he sank, there he fell, dead!
²⁸ Sisera’s mother looked out through a window,
    she cried from behind the lattice,
‘Why is his chariot taking so long?
    Why is the clatter of chariots so late in coming?’
