²³ “A curse on Meroz!” said the messenger of the Eternal One;
    “May its people be bitterly cursed,
Because they did not come to help the Eternal,
    to stand with the Eternal against the mighty foes!”
²⁴ But Jael,
    the wife of Heber, the Kenite—most blessed of women is she,
    favored above all women who dwell in tents!
²⁵ Sisera asked for water, and she gave him milk;
    she gave him curds in a dish fit for lords.
