to jealousie with strange gods with abominations provoked they him to anger 17. They sacrificed to Divels not to God to gods whom they knew not to new gods that came newly up whom your fathers feared not 18. Of the rock that begate thee thou art unmindful and hast forgotten God that formed thee 19. And when the Lord saw it he abhorred them because of the provoking of his sons and of his daughters 20. And he said I will hide my face from them I will see what their end shall be for they are a very froward generation children in whom is no faith 21. They have moved me to jealousie with that which is not god they have provoked me to anger with their vanities and I will move them to jealousie with those which are not a people I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation 22. For a fire is kindled in my anger and shall burn unto the lowest he and shall consume the earth with her increase and set on fire the foundations of the mountains 23. I will heap mischiefs upon them I will spend mine arrows upon them 24. They shall be burnt with hunger and devoured with burning heat and with bitter destruction I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them with the poison of serpents of the dust 25. The sword without and terror within shall destroy both the young-man and the virgin the suckling also with the man of gray hairs 26. I said I would scatter thē into corners I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men 27. Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely and lest they should say our hand is high and the Lord hath not done all this 28. For they are a Nation void of counsel neither is there any understanding in them 29. O that they were wise that they understood this that they would consider their latter end 30. How should one chase a thousand and two put ten thousand to flight except their rock had sold them and the Lord had shut them up 31. For their rock is not as our rock even our enemies themselves being judges 32. For their vine is of the vine of Sodom and of the fields of Gomorah their grapes are grapes of gall their clusters are bitter 33. Their wine is the poison of dragons and the cruel venome of Aspes 34. Is not this laid up in store with me and sealed up among my treasures 35. To me belongeth vengeance recompense Their foot shall slide in due time for the day of their calamity is at hand the things that shal com upon them make haste 36. For the Lord shall judge his people and repent himself for his servants when he seeth that their power is gone and there is none shut up or left 37. And he shall say where are their gods their rock in whom they trusted 38. Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices and drank the wine of their drink offerings let them rise up and help you and be your protection 39. See now that I even I am he and there is no god with me I kill and I make alive I wound and I heal neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand 40. For I lift up my hand to heaven and say I live for ever 41. If I whet my glittering sword and mine hand take hold on judgement I will render vengeance to mine enemies and will reward them that hate me 42. I will make mine arrows drunk with blood and my sword shall devour flesh and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy 43. Rejoyce O ye nations with his people for he will avenge the blood of his servants and will render vengeance to his adversaries and will be merciful unto his land and to his people The SONG of DEBORAH JUDGES V. verse 2 PRaise ye the Lord for that he did revenge for Israel take When as the people of themselves did willing offer make verse 3 Hear O ye kings ye Princes eke give ear unto this thing Even I will praise the Lord yea I didst to Israels God will sing verse 4 Lord when thou went'st from Seir march out of Edoms field The earth did tremble heaven drop the clouds did water yeild verse 5 The mountains frō before the Lord even they on melting fell Yea Sinai from before the Lord the God of Israel verse 6 In days of Shamgar Anaths son and eke in Jaels days The common paths were left men did travel in by-ways verse 7 They that in villages did dwell they ceast in Israel Till I arose I Deborah within a mother in Israel verse 8 They chose new gods and then the gates did war appear Mongst forty thousand Israelites was there a shield or spear verse 9 Towards Israels rulers is my heart that did with free accord Offer themselves among the flock for this bless ye the Lord. verse 10 Ye that upon white asses ride see that ye speak and talk Ye also that in judgement sit and by the way do walk verse 11 They that are freed from the noise shal and fear of Archers fierce Where they did draw their water Gods righteous acts rehearse The acts perform'd for Villagers in Israel that were Then shall the people of the Lord within the gates appear verse 12 Awake awake O Deborah I say awake awake And to the uttering of a song do thou thy self betake Barak do thou also arise and now perform thy part Lead captive thy captivity Abinoams son that art verse 13 Then over Nobles of the folk he made him rule to have That did remain ore mighty ones to me the rule he gave verse 14 Gaist Amaleck there was a root of thee from Ephraim Among thy people after thee O tribe of Benjamin And out of Machir governours came down and likewise men From Zebulun that handle well the skilful writers pen. verse 15 The princes eke of Issachar with Deborah they were Even Issachar and Barak too with her they did appear Into the valley was he sent yea sent on foot but lo Reubens divisions they did cause great thoughts of heart to grow verse 16 Why didst thou bide among the folds the bleating flocks to hear Reubens divisions they did cause that great heart-searchings were verse 17 Beyond the river Jordan did Gilead make his abode And why did Dan remain within his Ships that were at rode After continued on the shore the sea was at his side And in his breaches he remain'd yea there he did abide verse 18 But Zebulun and Nephtali were people that did yeild To run the hazard of their lives fought even in the open field verse 19 Kings came yea Canaans kings in Tanaach by the brook And water of Megiddo they no gain of money took verse 20 They fought from heaven yea the stars that in their courses were Against the

PRaise ye the Lord for the avenging of Israel when the people willingly offered themselves 3. Hear O ye kings give ear O ye Princes I even I will sing unto the Lord I will sing praise to the Lord God of Israel 4. Lord when thou wentest out of Seir when thou marchedst out of the field of Edom the earth trembled the heavens dropped the clouds also dropped water 5. The mountains melted from before the Lord even that Sinai from before the Lord God of Israel 6. In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath in the days of Jael the high ways were unoccupied and the travellers walked through by-ways 7. The inhabitants of the villages ceased they ceased in Israel until that I Deborah arose that I arose a mother in Israel 8. They chose new gods then was war in the gates was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel 9. My heart is towards the governours of Israel that offered themselves willingly among the people praise ye the Lord. 10. Speak ye that ride on white asses ye that sit in judgement and walk by the way 11. They that are delivered from the noise of Archers in the places of drawing water there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the Lord even the righteous acts toward the inhabitants of his villages in Israel then shall the people of the Lord go down to the gates 12. Awake awake Deborah awake awake utter a song arise Barak and lead thy captivity captive thou son of Abinoam 13.

Out of Ephraim was there a root of them against Amaleck after thee Benjamin among thy people Out of Machir came down governours and out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer 15. And the Princes of Issachar were with Deborah even Issachar and also Barak he was sent on foot into the valley for the divisions of Reuben there were great thoughts of heart 16. Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds to hear the bleatings of the flocks for the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart 17. Gilead abode beyond Jordan and why did Dan remain in ships After continued on the Sea-shore and abode in his breaches 18. Zebulun and Nephtali were a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death in the high places of the field 19. The kings came and fought then sought the Kings of Canaan in Tanaach by the waters of Megiddo they took no gain of money 20. They sought from heaven the stars in their courses fought against Sisera 21. The river of Kishon swept them away the ancient river the river Kishon O my soul thou hast trodden downe strength 22. Then were the horse-hoofs broken by the means of the prancings the prancings of their mighty ones 23.

At her feet he bowed he fell he lay down at her feet he bowed he fell where he bowed there he fell down dead 28. The mother of Sisera looked out at a window and cryed through the lattess why is his Chariot so long in coming why tarry the wheels of his Chariots 29. Her wise Ladies answered her yea she returned answer to her self 30. Have they not sped have they not divided the prey to every man a damsel or two To Sisera a prey of divers colours a prey of divers colours of Needlework of divers colours of Needle work on both sides meet for the necks of them that take the spoyl 31.
