Judges 5:7-9

Common English Bible

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!
⁹ My heart is with Israel’s commanders,
    who willingly offered themselves among the people—bless the Lord!
