23. Curse Meroz, said the messenger of the Lord. Curse bitterly its inhabitants, because they came not to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord against the mighty!

24. Blessed above women shall Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, be; blessed shall she be above women in the tent.

25. [Sisera] asked for water, and she gave [him] milk; she brought him curds in a lordly dish.

26. She put her [left] hand to the tent pin, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer. And with the wooden hammer she smote Sisera, she smote his head, yes, she struck and pierced his temple.

27. He sank, he fell, he lay still at her feet. At her feet he sank, he fell; where he sank, there he fell–dead!
