9 Deal with them as you did to Midian, Sisera, and Jabin at the Kishon Brook. Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon, Do to them as you did to Midian, as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon,
10 They were destroyed at En-dor and became as dung on the ground. who were destroyed at En-dor, who became dung for the ground. who perished at Endor and became like dung on the ground.
11 Punish their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna, Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna, Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12 who said, |Let us possess the pastures of God.| who said, “Let us take possession for ourselves of the pastures of God.” who said, “Let us take possession of the pasturelands of God.”

14 Like a fire burning a forest, and a flame setting mountains ablaze. As fire consumes the forest, as the flame sets the mountains ablaze, As fire consumes the forest or a flame sets the mountains ablaze,
