Judges 5:7-9
Revised Standard Version
7 The peasantry ceased in Israel, they ceased
until you arose, Deb′orah,
arose as a mother in Israel.
8 When new gods were chosen,
then war was in the gates.
Was shield or spear to be seen
among forty thousand in Israel?
9 My heart goes out to the commanders of Israel
who offered themselves willingly among the people.
Bless the Lord.
Judges 5:7-9
New International Version
7 Villagers in Israel would not fight;
they held back until I, Deborah,(A) arose,
until I arose, a mother in Israel.
8 God chose new leaders(B)
when war came to the city gates,(C)
but not a shield or spear(D) was seen
among forty thousand in Israel.
9 My heart is with Israel’s princes,
with the willing volunteers(E) among the people.
Praise the Lord!
