Judges 5:28-31

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁸ “Out of the window she peered,
    the mother of Sisera gazed^[a] through the lattice:
‘Why is his chariot so long in coming?
    Why tarry the hoofbeats of his chariots?’
²⁹ Her wisest ladies make answer,
    indeed, she answers the question herself:
³⁰ ‘Are they not finding and dividing the spoil?—
    A girl or two for every man;
spoil of dyed stuffs for Sisera,
    spoil of dyed stuffs embroidered,
    two pieces of dyed work embroidered for my neck as spoil?’

³¹ “So perish all your enemies, O Lord!
    But may your friends be like the sun as it rises in its might.”
