16Why sattest thou among the sheepfolds,

To hear the pipings for the flocks?

At the watercourses of Reuben

There were great searchings of heart.

17Gilead abode beyond the Jordan:

And Dan, why did he remain in ships?

Asher sat still at the haven of the sea,

And abode by his creeks.

18Zebulun was a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death,

And Naphtali, upon the high places of the field.

19The kings came and fought;

Then fought the kings of Canaan.

In Taanach by the waters of Megiddo:

They took no gain of money.

20From heaven fought the stars,

From their courses they fought against Sisera.

21The river Kishon swept them away,

That ancient river, the river Kishon.

O my soul, march on with strength.

22Then did the horsehoofs stamp

By reason of the prancings, the prancings of their strong ones.

23Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of Jehovah.

Curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof,

Because they came not to the help of Jehovah,

To the help of Jehovah against the mighty.
