New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Judges 5
26 "She reached out her hand for the tent peg, And her right hand for the workmen’s hammer. Then she struck Sisera, she smashed his head; And she shattered and pierced his temple.
27 "Between her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay; Between her feet he bowed, he fell; Where he bowed, there he fell dead.
28 "Out of the window she looked and lamented, The mother of Sisera through the lattice, ’Why does his chariot delay in coming? Why do the hoofbeats of his chariots tarry?’
29 "Her wise princesses would answer her, Indeed she repeats her words to herself,
30 ’Are they not finding, are they not dividing the spoil? A maiden, two maidens for every warrior; To Sisera a spoil of dyed work, A spoil of dyed work embroidered, Dyed work of double embroidery on the neck of the spoiler?’
31 "Thus let all Your enemies perish, O Lord; But let those who love Him be like the rising of the sun in its might." And the land was undisturbed for forty years.
Judges 6
1 Then the sons of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the Lord; and the Lord gave them into the hands of Midian seven years.
2 The power of Midian prevailed against Israel. Because of Midian the sons of Israel made for themselves the dens which were in the mountains and the caves and the strongholds.
3 For it was when Israel had sown, that the Midianites would come up with the Amalekites and the sons of the east and go against them.
4 So they would camp against them and destroy the produce of the earth as far as Gaza, and leave no sustenance in Israel as well as no sheep, ox, or donkey.
5 For they would come up with their livestock and their tents, they would come in like locusts for number, both they and their camels were innumerable; and they came into the land to devastate it.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
