Shofetim 5:25-31 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

25. He asked mayim, and she gave him cholov; she brought forth curds in a noble's dish.

26. She put her yad to the yetad, and her right hand to the workman's hammer; and with the hammer she struck Sisra, she crushed his rosh, when she had shattered and pierced his temple.

27. At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down; at her feet he bowed, he fell; where he bowed, sham (there) he fell down dead.

28. The Em Sisra looked out through the chalon (window), and cried through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why tarry the wheels of his marekevot (chariots)?

29. Her chachemot sarot (wisest ladies) answered her, indeed, she repeats to herself her words,

30. Are they not finding and dividing the prey; to every gever a girl or two; for Sisra colorful garments as plunder, a plunder of dyed work embroidered, of divers colors of needlework on both sides, fit for the necks of them that take the spoil?

31. So let all thine enemies perish, Hashem; but let them that love Him be as the shemesh in its gevurah. And HaAretz had rest arba'im shanah.
