Judges 5:21-23
Easy-to-Read Version
21 The Kishon River, that ancient river,
swept Sisera’s men away.
My soul, march on with strength![a]
22 The horses’ hooves hammered the ground.
Sisera’s mighty horses ran and ran.
23 “The angel of the Lord said, ‘Curse the city of Meroz.
Curse its people!
They did not come to help the Lord fight.’
They did not help the Lord against his powerful enemies.

because they did not come to help the Lord,
to help the Lord against the mighty.’
