Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

6“In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath,
In the days of Jael, the roads were deserted,
And travelers went by roundabout ways.
7“The peasantry came to an end, they came to an end in Israel,
Until I, Deborah, arose,
Until I arose, a mother in Israel.
8“New gods were chosen;
Then war was in the gates.
Not a shield or a spear was seen
Among forty thousand in Israel.
9“My heart goes out to the commanders of Israel,
The volunteers among the people;
Bless the Lord!
10“You who ride on white donkeys,
You who sit on rich carpets,
And you who travel on the road—shout in praise!
11“At the sound of those who distribute water among the watering places,
There they will recount the righteous deeds of the Lord,
The righteous deeds for His peasantry in Israel.
Then the people of the Lord went down to the gates.
