27 At Jael’s feet he sank.He fell, and he lay there.At her feet he sank. He fell.Where Sisera sank, there he fell, dead!
28 “Sisera’s mother looked out through the window.She looked through the curtains.She asked, ‘Why is Sisera’s chariot so late in coming?Why are sounds of his chariots’ horses delayed?’
29 The wisest of her servant ladies answer her.And Sisera’s mother says to herself,
30 ‘Surely they are taking the possessions of the people they defeated!Surely they are dividing those things among themselves!A girl or two is being given to each soldier.Maybe Sisera is taking pieces of dyed cloth.Maybe they are even takingpieces of dyed, embroidered cloth for the necks of the victors!’
31 “Let all your enemies die this way, Lord!But let all the people who love yoube powerful like the rising sun!”So there was peace in the land for 40 years.
