The mountains melted before the Lord,
even Sinai[a] before the Lord, the God of Israel.(A)

In the days of Shamgar(B) son of Anath,
in the days of Jael,(C)
the main ways were deserted
because travelers kept to the side roads.
Villages were deserted,[b]
they were deserted in Israel,
until I, Deborah,[c] arose,
a mother in Israel.
