New Testament

Judges 5:5-9 New English Translation (NET)

5. The mountains trembled before the Lord, the God of Sinai;before the Lord God of Israel.

6. In the days of Shamgar son of Anath,in the days of Jael caravans disappeared;travelers had to go on winding side roads.

7. Warriors were scarce,they were scarce in Israel,until you arose, Deborah,until you arose as a motherly protector in Israel.

8. God chose new leaders,then fighters appeared in the city gates;but, I swear, not a shield or spear could be found,among forty military units in Israel.

9. My heart went out to Israel’s leaders,to the people who answered the call to war. Praise the Lord!
