Judges 5:25-31

Judges 5:25-31 CSB

He asked for water; she gave him milk. She brought him cream  in a majestic bowl. 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. He collapsed, he fell, he lay down between her feet; he collapsed, he fell between her feet; where he collapsed, there he fell — dead. 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? ”  Her wisest princesses answer her; she even answers herself: “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? ”  LORD, may all your enemies perish as Sisera did.  But may those who love him be like the rising of the sun in its strength.
