[a]Yea, she returned answer to herself,
30 Have they not found, have they not divided the spoil?
A damsel, two damsels to every man;
To Sisera a spoil of dyed garments,
A spoil of dyed garments embroidered,
Of dyed garments embroidered on both sides, on the necks of the spoil?

But let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might.

And the land had rest forty years.

highly embroidered garments(B) for my neck—
