Judges 5:6-8
Evangelical Heritage Version
6 In the days of Shamgar son of Anath,
in the days of Jael, the main roads were deserted,
and travelers kept to pathways and winding roads.
7 Life in the unwalled towns came to a halt.
In Israel, life came to a halt until I, Deborah, arose,
until I arose as a mother in Israel.
8 When Israel chose new gods,[a] there was war at the gates.
Neither shield nor spear was seen among the forty thousand in Israel.
