Judges 5:6-8
Common English Bible
6 In the days of Shamgar, Anath’s son,
in the days of Jael, caravans ceased.
Those traveling by road
kept to the backroads.
7 Villagers disappeared;
they disappeared in Israel,
until you,[a] Deborah, arose,
until you arose as a mother in Israel.
8 When they chose new gods,
then war came to the city gates.[b]
Yet there wasn’t a shield or spear to be seen
among forty thousand in Israel!
