Judges 5:29-31
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
29 The wisest of her princesses answers her;
she even replies to herself,
30 “They must be dividing the spoil they took:
a slave woman or two for each man,
Spoil of dyed cloth for Sisera,
spoil of ornate dyed cloth,
a pair of ornate dyed cloths for my neck in the spoil.”
31 So perish all your enemies, O Lord!(A)
But may those who love you be like the sun rising in its might!
And the land was at rest for forty years.(B)

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.
