Judges 5:19-21

Contemporary English Version

¹⁹Canaanite kings fought us
at Taanach by the stream
    near Megiddo^[a]—
but they couldn't rob us
    of our silver.^[b]
²⁰From their pathways in the sky
    the stars^[c] fought Sisera,
²¹and his soldiers were swept away
    by the ancient Kishon River.

I will march on and be brave.
