Judges 5:16-18

Living Bible

¹⁶ Why did you sit at home among the sheepfolds,

Playing your shepherd pipes?

Yes, the tribe of Reuben has an uneasy conscience.

¹⁷ Why did Gilead remain across the Jordan,

And why did Dan remain with his ships?

And why did Asher sit unmoved

Upon the seashore,

At ease beside his harbors?)

¹⁸ But the tribes of Zebulun and Naphtali

Dared to die upon the fields of battle.
