Judges 5:7-9
New Century Version
7 There were no warriors in Israel
until I, Deborah, arose,
until I arose to be a mother to Israel.
8 At that time they chose to follow new gods.
Because of this, enemies fought us at our city gates.
No one could find a shield or a spear
among the forty thousand people of Israel.
9 My heart is with the commanders of Israel.
They volunteered freely from among the people.
Praise the Lord!
Judges 5:7-9
New International Version
7 Villagers in Israel would not fight;
they held back until I, Deborah,(A) arose,
until I arose, a mother in Israel.
8 God chose new leaders(B)
when war came to the city gates,(C)
but not a shield or spear(D) was seen
among forty thousand in Israel.
9 My heart is with Israel’s princes,
with the willing volunteers(E) among the people.
Praise the Lord!
