Judges 5:6-8

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁶ ‘In the days of Shamgar son of Anath,
    in the days of Jael, caravans ceased
    and travellers kept to the byways.
⁷ The peasantry prospered in Israel,
    they grew fat on plunder,
because you arose, Deborah,
    arose as a mother in Israel.
⁸ When new gods were chosen,
    then war was in the gates.
Was shield or spear to be seen
    among forty thousand in Israel?
