“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 needlework on both sides, meet for the necks of them that take the spoil?”
'Thus perish all your enemies, O LORD! But may those who love him be like the sun as it rises in its might.' And the land had rest for forty years. — The final exhortation invokes divine judgment on enemies while blessing the righteous. The conclusion 'the land had rest for forty years' replicates Othniel's rest formula, indicating that Deborah's victory produced a full generational peace.
