She struck Sisera, she pierced his head; she shattered and struck through his temple.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/judges/5-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>At her feet he collapsed, he fell, he lay. At her feet he collapsed, he fell. Where he collapsed, there he fell down, destroyed.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/judges/5-28.htm"><b>28</b></a></span>Through the window she looked out. Sisera's mother cried out through the lattice, 'Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why are the hoofbeats of his chariots delayed?'<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/judges/5-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>Her wise princesses answered her; indeed, she answers herself,<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/judges/5-30.htm"><b>30</b></a></span>Have they not found, have they not divided the spoil? A womb or two for every man; to Sisera a spoil of dyed garments, A spoil of dyed garments embroidered, Of dyed garments embroidered on both sides, for the neck of the plunderer?'<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/judges/5-31.htm"><b>31</b></a></span>So let all your enemies perish, LORD, but let those who love you be as the sun when it rises forth in its strength."
