7 “Leadership ceased, it ceased in Yisra’ĕl, until I, Deḇorah, arose – a mother in Yisra’ĕl arose.
8 “They chose new mighty ones, then fighting was in the gates! Neither a shield nor spear was seen among forty thousand in Yisra’ĕl.
9 “My heart is towards the lawgivers of Yisra’ĕl, the volunteers among the people. Bless יהוה!
10 “You who ride on white donkeys, you who sit on rich carpets, and you who walk along the way, declare it!
11 “By the voice of shouters, between the places of drawing water, there they recount the righteous acts of יהוה, the righteous acts of His leadership in Yisra’ĕl; then the people of יהוה shall go down to the gates.
12 “Wake up, wake up, Deḇorah! Wake up, wake up, sing a song! Arise, Baraq, and lead your captives away, O son of Aḇino‛am!
13 “Then He set the remnant to rule the nobles; יהוה came down for me against the mighty ones.
