6 In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were abandoned, and the travelers walked through byways.
7 The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until I, Deborah, arose, that I arose a mother in Israel.
8 They chose new gods; then was war in the gates; was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
9 My heart is with the rulers of Israel, who offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless the LORD.
10 Speak, you who ride on white donkeys, you who sit in judgment, and walk by the way.
