Judges 5:16-18

The Voice

¹⁶ “Why did you remain idle and aloof in the sheepfolds?
    To hear whistling for the flocks?”
And the clans of Reuben wondered in their heart,
¹⁷ “Why did those of Gilead remain beyond the Jordan?
    Why did the people of Dan stay with their ships?
“Why did the people of Asher stay on the coast,
    settling down where they landed?”
¹⁸ But Zebulun did not fear death,
    and Naphtali, too, stared down death on the heights where the battle raged.
