Judges 5:20-30
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 5
20
The stars fought from heaven,
From their paths they fought against Sisera.
21
The torrent of Kishon swept them away,
The ancient torrent, the torrent Kishon.
My soul, march on with strength!
22
Then the horses’ hoofs beat
From the galloping, the galloping of his mighty stallions.
23
‘Curse Meroz,’ said the angel of the
Lord
,
‘Utterly curse its inhabitants,
Because they did not come to the help of the
Lord
,
To the help of the
Lord
against the warriors.’
24
'Most blessed of women is Jael,
The wife of Heber the Kenite;
Most blessed is she of women in the tent.
25
He asked for water, she gave him milk;
In a magnificent bowl she brought him curds.
26
She reached out her hand for the tent peg,
And her right hand for the workmen’s hammer.
Then she struck Sisera, she smashed his head;
And she shattered and pierced his temple.
27
Between her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay;
Between her feet he bowed, he fell;
Where he bowed, there he fell dead.
28
'Out of the window she looked and wailed,
The mother of Sisera through the lattice,
‘Why does his chariot delay in coming?
Why do the hoofbeats of his chariots delay?’
29
Her wise princesses would answer her,
Indeed she repeats her words to herself,
30
‘Are they not finding, are they not dividing the spoils?
A concubine, two concubines for every warrior;
To Sisera a spoil of dyed cloth,
A spoil of dyed cloth embroidered,
Dyed cloth of double embroidery on the neck of the plunderer?’
King James Version
Chapter 5
20
They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.
21
The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength.
22
Then were the horsehoofs broken by the means of the pransings, the pransings of their mighty ones.
23
Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the
Lord
, curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the
Lord
, to the help of the
Lord
against the mighty.
24
Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
25
He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.
26
She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote off his head, when she had pierced and stricken through his temples.
27
At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down: at her feet he bowed, he fell: where he bowed, there he fell down dead.
28
The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, and cried through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming? why tarry the wheels of his chariots?
29
Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to herself,
30
Have they not sped? have they not divided the prey; to every man a damsel or two; to Sisera a prey of divers colours, a prey of divers colours of needlework, of divers colours of needlework on both sides, meet for the necks of them that take the spoil?
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 5
20
The stars fought from the heavens;
the stars fought with Sisera from their paths.
21
The river Kishon swept them away,
the ancient river, the river Kishon.
March on, my soul, in strength!
22
The horses’ hooves then hammered—
the galloping, galloping of his stallions.
23
"Curse Meroz," says the angel of the
Lord
,
"Bitterly curse her inhabitants,
for they did not come to help the
Lord
,
to help the
Lord
with the warriors."
24
Jael is most blessed of women,
the wife of Heber the Kenite;
she is most blessed among tent-dwelling women.
25
He asked for water; she gave him milk.
She brought him cream in a majestic bowl.
26
She reached for a tent peg,
her right hand, for a workman’s hammer.
Then she hammered Sisera—
she crushed his head;
she shattered and pierced his temple.
27
He collapsed, he fell, he lay down between her feet;
he collapsed, he fell between her feet;
where he collapsed, there he fell—dead.
28
Sisera’s mother looked through the window;
she peered through the lattice, crying out:
"Why is his chariot so long in coming?
Why don’t I hear the hoofbeats of his horses?"
29
Her wisest princesses answer her;
she even answers herself:
30
"Are they not finding and dividing the spoil—
a girl or two for each warrior,
the spoil of colored garments for Sisera,
the spoil of an embroidered garment or two for my neck?"
New Living Translation
Chapter 5
20
The stars fought from heaven.
The stars in their orbits fought against Sisera.
21
The Kishon River swept them away —
that ancient torrent, the Kishon.
March on with courage, my soul!
22
Then the horses’ hooves hammered the ground,
the galloping, galloping of Sisera’s mighty steeds.
23
‘Let the people of Meroz be cursed,’ said the angel of the
Lord
.
‘Let them be utterly cursed,
because they did not come to help the
Lord
—
to help the
Lord
against the mighty warriors.’
24
'Most blessed among women is Jael,
the wife of Heber the Kenite.
May she be blessed above all women who live in tents.
25
Sisera asked for water,
and she gave him milk.
In a bowl fit for nobles,
she brought him yogurt.
26
Then with her left hand she reached for a tent peg,
and with her right hand for the workman’s hammer.
She struck Sisera with the hammer, crushing his head.
With a shattering blow, she pierced his temples.
27
He sank, he fell,
he lay still at her feet.
And where he sank,
there he died.
28
'From the window Sisera’s mother looked out.
Through the window she watched for his return, saying,
‘Why is his chariot so long in coming?
Why don’t we hear the sound of chariot wheels?’
29
'Her wise women answer,
and she repeats these words to herself:
30
‘They must be dividing the captured plunder —
with a woman or two for every man.
There will be colorful robes for Sisera,
and colorful, embroidered robes for me.
Yes, the plunder will include
colorful robes embroidered on both sides.’
English Standard Version

"Then loud beat the horses ' hoofs
with the galloping, galloping of his steeds.

,
to the help of the
Lord
against the mighty.

the wife of Heber the Kenite,
of tent-dwelling women most blessed.
25
He asked for water and she gave him milk;
she brought him curds in a noble 's bowl.
26
She sent her hand to the tent peg
and her right hand to the workmen 's mallet;
she struck Sisera;
she crushed his head;
she shattered and pierced his temple.
27
Between her feet
he sank, he fell, he lay still;
between her feet
he sank, he fell;
where he sank,
there he fell — dead.
28
"Out of the window she peered,
the mother of Sisera wailed through the lattice:
‘Why is his chariot so long in coming?

Her wisest princesses answer,
indeed, she answers herself,
30
‘Have they not found and divided the spoil? —
A womb or two for every man;
spoil of dyed materials for Sisera,
spoil of dyed materials embroidered,
two pieces of dyed work embroidered for the neck as spoil?’

March on, my soul; be strong!
22
Then thundered the horses’ hooves—
galloping, galloping go his mighty steeds.

Lord
.

to help the
Lord

her right hand for the workman’s hammer.
She struck Sisera, she crushed his head,

At her feet he sank,
he fell; there he lay.
At her feet he sank, he fell;
where he sank, there he fell—dead.
28
"Through the window peered Sisera’s mother;
behind the lattice she cried out,
‘Why is his chariot so long in coming?
Why is the clatter of his chariots delayed?’

a woman or two for each man,
colorful garments as plunder for Sisera,
colorful garments embroidered,
highly embroidered garments for my neck—
all this as plunder?’

The galloping, galloping of his steeds.

To every man a girl
or
two;
For Sisera, plunder of dyed garments,
Plunder of garments embroidered and dyed,
Two pieces of dyed embroidery for the neck of the looter?’
