Judges:5:6-11
Seeker Overlay ON
*
In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath ,
in the days of Jael ,
the highways were unoccupied ,
and the travellers walked through byways .
*
The inhabitants of the villages ceased ,
they ceased in Israel ,
until that I Deborah arose ,
that I arose a mother in Israel .
*
They chose new gods ;
then was war in the gates :
was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel ?
*
My heart is toward the governors of Israel ,
that offered themselves willingly among the people .
Bless ye the LORD .
*
Speak ,
ye that ride on white asses ,
ye that sit in judgment ,
and walk by the way .
*
They that are delivered from the noise of archers in the places of drawing water ,
there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD ,
even the righteous acts toward the inhabitants of his villages in Israel :
then shall the people of the LORD go down to the gates .
