Villages were deserted,[a]
they were deserted in Israel,
until I, Deborah,[b] arose,
a mother in Israel.
Israel chose new gods,
then war was in the gates.
Not a shield or spear was seen
among 40,000 in Israel.
My heart is with the leaders of Israel,
with the volunteers of the people.
Praise the Lord!
