Read Judges 5 here (text coming …) or at Bible Gateway.
The Hebrew paragraphs:
5:1-31 {p} The song of Deborah
Judges 5:1-31 Chiastic Structure:
We Learn from the Narrative something we all recognize: in times of crisis it is much easier to keep your head down and just go with the flow; don’t put a target on your back. But when God sends forth the call to rise up, that is not the time to keep your head down. That is the time to rise up, as Deborah did, as Barak did, as Zebulun did, as Naphtali did, and as Jael did.
Rise up, O men of God!
Have done with lesser things!
Give heart and soul and mind and strength
To serve the King of kings!
