Chapter 5
(Passion Bible)
Judges 5
Ready to read
1
Deborah and Barak son of Abinoam sang this victory song:[1]
2
Blessings be to Yahweh,
3
Listen, you kings!
4
Yahweh, when you advanced from Seir,[3]
5
and the mountains melted,
6
In the days of Shamgar son of Anath,
7
Champions were hard to find[5]—
8
The Israelites chose new gods,[7]
9
My heart is with Israel’s princes,
10
Declare it, you rich
11
Listen to the sound of singers at the well,[11]
12
Lead on, O Deborah, lead on!
13
The remaining nobles marched out,
14
You men of Ephraim came out to the valley,[13]
15
Issachar’s princes rallied to Deborah,
16
Reuben, why do you remain by the sheepfolds,[16]
17
Gad[18] played it safe and stayed east of the Jordan,
18
But Zebulun and Naphtali defied death
19
At Taanach foreign kings came and clashed;
20
Even the stars in the sky joined in the fight,[20]
21
The flooding Kishon swept them away—
22
Then thundered the horses’ hooves, pulling the chariots of the kings of Canaan.
23
“Speak a curse over Meroz,”[25] says the angel of Yahweh,[26]
24
The most blessed of all women is Jael,
25
Sisera came to Jael’s tent and asked for water,
26
With a tent peg in one hand
27
She shattered his skull,
28
Sisera’s mother waited for him at her window;
29
The wisest of her princesses replied;
30
“They must be gathering and dividing the spoils:
31
Yahweh, may all who hate you perish in the same way!
