¹⁷ And Sisera hath fled on his feet unto the tent of Jael wife of Heber the Kenite, for peace `is' between Jabin king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite;

⁶ In the days of Shamgar son of Anath -- In the days of Jael -- The ways have ceased, And those going in the paths go `in' crooked ways.

²¹ There is no peace, said my God, to the wicked!

²³ The pride of man humbleth him, And humility of spirit upholdeth honour.

⁴⁰ He is pouring contempt upon nobles, And causeth them to wander in vacancy -- no way.

²² Their table before them is for a snare, And for a recompence -- for a trap.

³⁵ I have seen the wicked terrible, And spreading as a green native plant,

³⁶ And he passeth away, and lo, he is not, And I seek him, and he is not found!

¹¹ Scatter abroad the wrath of thine anger, And see every proud one, and make him low.

¹² See every proud one -- humble him, And tread down the wicked in their place.

⁷ Straitened are the steps of his strength, And cast him down doth his own counsel.

⁸ For he is sent into a net by his own feet, And on a snare he doth walk habitually.

⁹ Seize on the heel doth a gin, Prevail over him do the designing.

¹⁰ Hidden in the earth is his cord, And his trap on the path.

¹¹ Round about terrified him have terrors, And they have scattered him -- at his feet.

¹² Hungry is his sorrow, And calamity is ready at his side.

¹⁹ Causing ministers to go away a spoil And strong ones He overthroweth.

²⁰ Turning aside the lip of the stedfast, And the reason of the aged He taketh away.

²¹ Pouring contempt upon princes, And the girdle of the mighty He made feeble.

²⁴ Blessed above women is Jael, Wife of Heber the Kenite, Above women in the tent she is blessed.

¹⁹ As `when' one fleeth from the face of the lion, And the bear hath met him, And he hath come in to the house, And hath leant his hand on the wall, And the serpent hath bitten him.

²⁰ Is not the day of Jehovah darkness and not light, Even thick darkness that hath no brightness?
