Judges 5:7-9

Tree of Life Version

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!
⁹ My heart is with Israel’s rulers,
who offer themselves freely among the people. Bless Adonai!
