Judges 5:7-9

5:7 Warriors were scarce,

they were scarce in Israel,

until you arose, Deborah,

until you arose as a motherly protector in Israel.

5:8 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.

5:9 My heart went out to Israel’s leaders,

to the people who answered the call to war.

Praise the Lord!
