Judges 5:19-31

ECB(i) 19 The sovereigns come and fight, and the sovereigns of Kenaan fight in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they take no gain of silver. 20 They fight from the heavens; the stars in their highways fight against Sisera. 21 The wadi of Qishon bears them away - that ancient wadi - the wadi Qishon. O my soul, you tread down strength. 22 Then hammered are the horse heelprints by the pransings - the pransings of their mighty ones. 23 Curse you Meroz, says the angel of Yah Veh, in cursing, curse the settlers thereof; because they came not to the help of Yah Veh - to the help of Yah Veh against the mighty. 24 Blessed - above women - Yael the woman of Heber the Qayiniy, blessed - above women in the tent. 25 He asks water and she gives milk; she approaches with butter in a mighty bason; 26 she spreads her hand to the stake and her right to the hammer of the toiler; she hammers Sisera; she crushes his head; she strikes and passes through his temples. 27 Between her feet he bowed; he fell; he layed: between her feet he bowed, he fell: where he bowed, there he fell ravaged. 28 The mother of Sisera looks out a window and cries through the lattice. What delays his chariot in coming? What delays the steps of his chariots? 29 Her wise governesses answer her; yes, she returns sayings to herself. 30 Found they not? Allot they the spoil to the head mighty? A maiden or two maidens to Sisera? A spoil of dyes - a spoil of dyes of embroidery - of dyes of embroidery on both sides for the necks of the spoilers? 31 Thus all your enemies destruct, O Yah Veh: but they who love him are as the sun when he goes in his might. - and the land rests forty years.
