Judges 5:8 in Context — Judges 5
6 Au temps de Schamgar, fils d’Anath, Au temps de Jaël, les routes étaient abandonnées, Et ceux qui voyageaient prenaient des chemins détournés.
7 Les chefs étaient sans force en Israël, sans force, Quand je me suis levée, moi, Débora, Quand je me suis levée comme une mère en Israël.
8 Il avait choisi de nouveaux dieux: Alors la guerre était aux portes; On ne voyait ni bouclier ni lance Chez quarante milliers en Israël.
9 Mon cœur est aux chefs d’Israël, A ceux du peuple qui se sont montrés prêts à combattre. Bénissez l’Éternel!
10 Vous qui montez de blanches ânesses, Vous qui avez pour sièges des tapis, Et vous qui marchez sur la route, chantez!
