Judges 5:8-10

Living Bible

⁸ When Israel chose new gods,

Everything collapsed.

Our masters would not let us have

A shield or spear.

Among forty thousand men of Israel,

Not a weapon could be found!

⁹ How I rejoice

In the leaders of Israel

Who offered themselves so willingly!

Praise the Lord!

¹⁰ Let all Israel, rich and poor,

Join in his praises—

Those who ride on white donkeys

And sit on rich carpets,

And those who are poor and must walk.
