Judges 5:6-8

World English Bible

⁶ “In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath,
    in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied.
    The travelers walked through byways.
⁷ The rulers ceased in Israel.
    They ceased until I, Deborah, arose;
    Until I arose a mother in Israel.
⁸ They chose new gods.
    Then war was in the gates.
    Was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
