Judges 5:16-18
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
16 Why did you stay beside your hearths
listening to the lowing of the herds?
Among the clans of Reuben
great were the searchings of heart!
17 Gilead stayed beyond the Jordan;
Why did Dan spend his time in ships?
Asher remained along the shore,
he stayed in his havens.
18 Zebulun was a people who defied death,
Naphtali, too, on the open heights!(A)
Judges 5:16-18
New International Version
16 Why did you stay among the sheep pens[a](A)
to hear the whistling for the flocks?(B)
In the districts of Reuben
there was much searching of heart.
17 Gilead(C) stayed beyond the Jordan.
And Dan, why did he linger by the ships?
Asher(D) remained on the coast(E)
and stayed in his coves.
18 The people of Zebulun(F) risked their very lives;
so did Naphtali(G) on the terraced fields.(H)
