Judges 5:6-8

Tree of Life Version

⁶ In the days of Shamgar son of Anath,
    in the days of Yael,
the highways were deserted,
travelers walked by crooked paths.
⁷ Villages were deserted in Israel,
deserted, until I, Deborah, arose,
    a mother in Israel arose.
⁸ They chose new gods—
then war was in the gates.
No shield or spear was seen
    among 40,000 in Israel!
