5. The mountains quaked before the face of Jehovah, That Sinai, from before Jehovah the God of Israel.
6. In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, The roads were unused, and the travellers on highways went by crooked paths.
7. The villages ceased in Israel, Ceased until that I Deborah arose, That I arose a mother in Israel.
8. They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: Was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
9. My heart is toward the governors of Israel, who offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless Jehovah!
10. Ye that ride on white she-asses, ye that sit on carpets, and ye that walk by the way, consider.
11. Because of the voice of those who divide the spoil in the midst of the places of drawing water; There they rehearse the righteous acts of Jehovah, His righteous acts toward his villages in Israel. Then the people of Jehovah went down to the gates.
12. Awake, awake, Deborah! awake, awake, utter a song! Arise, Barak, and lead captive thy captives, thou son of Abinoam!
