Judges 5:7-9

Modern English Version

⁷ Village life ceased. It ceased
    until I, Deborah, arose;
    I arose like a mother in Israel.
⁸ They were choosing new gods,
    and warfare was at the city gates,
but not a shield or spear was to be seen
    among forty thousand in Israel.
⁹ My heart is with the rulers of Israel
    who offered themselves willingly among the people.
    Bless the Lord!
