\q and you who walk along the road.

\q Jael (the wife of Heber the Kenite),

\q
\v 25 The man asked for water, and she gave him milk;
\q she brought him butter in a dish fit for princes.
 
\s5
\q
\v 26 She put her hand to the tent peg,
\q and her right hand to the workman's hammer;
\q with the hammer she struck Sisera, she crushed his head.

\q Why have the hoofbeats of the horses that pull his chariots been delayed?'
 
\s5
\q
\v 29 Her wisest princesses replied,
\q and she gave herself the same answer:
\q

\q the plunder of dyed fabric embroidered,
\q two pieces of dyed fabric embroidered for the necks of those who plunder?'
 
\s5
