Judges 5:29-31
International Standard Version
29 Her wise attendants[a] find an answer for her;
in fact, she tells the same words to herself:
30 ‘They’re busy finding and dividing the war booty, aren’t they?
A girl or two for each valiant warrior,
and some dyed materials for Sisera—
perhaps dyed, embroidered war booty—
or some detailed embroidery for my neck
as the booty of war!
31 “May all of your enemies perish like this, Lord!
But may those who love him be
like the ascending sun in its strength!”
Then the land enjoyed quiet for 40 years.

Judges 5:29-31
New International Version
29 The wisest of her ladies answer her;
indeed, she keeps saying to herself,
30 ‘Are they not finding and dividing the spoils:(A)
a woman or two for each man,
colorful garments as plunder for Sisera,
colorful garments embroidered,
highly embroidered garments(B) for my neck—
all this as plunder?(C)’
31 “So may all your enemies perish,(D) Lord!
But may all who love you be like the sun(E)
when it rises in its strength.”(F)
Then the land had peace(G) forty years.
