Judges 5:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ Village life ceased in Israel,
    it ceased until I, Deborah,
    until I rose up as mother in Israel.^[a]
8 When they chose new gods,
    war showed up at the gates.
Not a shield nor a spear was to be found
    among the forty thousand in Israel.
⁹ My heart was with the leaders of Israel;
    they offered themselves willingly with the people.
    Bless the Lord.
