The Song of Deborah and Barak

1 Later that day, Deborah and Abinoam’s son Barak celebrated by singing this song:

2 “When hair grows long in Israel,    when the people give themselves willingly,        bless the Lord! 3 Listen, you kings!    Turn your ears to me, you rulers! As for me, to the Lord I will sing!    I will sing praise to the Lord God of Israel.

4 Lord, when you left Seir,    when you marched out        from the grain field of Edom, the earth quaked    and the heavens poured out rain;        indeed, the clouds poured out water. 5 Mountains tremble at the presence of the Lord —    even Sinai!—at the presence of the Lord God of Israel. 6 During the lifetime of Anath’s son Shamgar    and during the lifetime of Jael highways remained deserted,    while travelers kept to back roads. 7 Rural populations plummeted in Israel;    until I, Deborah, arose;        until I—an Israeli mother—arose. 8 New gods were chosen,    then war came to the city gates, but there wasn’t a shield or spear to be seen    among 40,000 soldiers of Israel. 9 My heart is for the commanders of Israel,    to those who work willingly among the people.        Bless the Lord!

10 “Speak up, you who ride white donkeys,    sitting on cloth saddles        while you travel on your way! 11 From the sound of those who divide their work loads    at the watering troughs, there they will retell the righteous deeds of the Lord,    the righteous victories for his rural people in Israel.”

Then the people of the Lord went down to the gates.

12 “Wake up! Wake up, Deborah!    Wake up! Wake up, Deborah! Get up, Barak, and dispose of your captives,    you son of Abinoam! 13 Then the survivors approached the nobles;    the people of the Lord approached me in battle array. 14 Some came from Ephraim    who had been harassed by Amalek,        followed by Benjamin with your people. Some commanders came from Machir,    along with some from Zebulun        who carry a badge of office. 15 The officials of Issachar were with Deborah,    as was the tribe of Issachar and Barak. They rushed out into the valley at his heels    along with divisions from Reuben’s army.        Great was their resolve of heart! 16 Why did you sit down among the sheepfolds?    To hear the bleating of the flocks? Among the divisions of the army of Reuben    there was great searching of heart. 17 The tribe of Gilead remained    on the other side of the Jordan River. As for the tribe of Dan,    why did they stay on board their ships? The tribe of Asher sat by the seashore    and remained near its harbors. 18 The tribe of Zebulun did not worry about their lives    at the price of death; neither did the tribe of Naphtali also    on high places of the field.

19 “Kings came to fight,    then battled the kings of Canaan        at Taanach near the waters of Megiddo. They took no silver    as the spoils of war. 20 The stars fought from heaven;    they fought against Sisera from their orbits. 21 The current of the Kishon River swept them downstream,    that ancient current, the Kishon’s current!        March on strongly, my soul! 22 Then loud was the beat of the horses’ hooves—    from the galloping, galloping war steeds!

23 “‘Meroz is cursed!’ declared the angel of the Lord.    ‘Utterly and totally cursed are its inhabitants, because they never came to the aid of the Lord,    to the aid of the Lord against the valiant warriors!’”

24 “Blessed above all women is Jael,    wife of Heber the Kenite;        most blessed is she among women who live in tents! 25 Sisera asked for water—    she gave him milk.        In a magnificent bowl she brought him yogurt! 26 She reached out one hand for the tent peg,    and her other for the workman’s mallet. Then she struck Sisera,    smashing his head,        shattering and piercing his temple. 27 He crumpled to the ground between her feet,    where he fell down and collapsed. Between her feet he crumpled,    Fallen dead!

28 “Back at home, out the window Sisera’s mother peered,    lamenting through the lattice. ‘Why is his chariot delayed in returning?    ‘Why do the hoof beats of his chariots wait?’ 29 Her wise attendants find an answer for her;    in fact, she tells the same words to herself: 30 ‘They’re busy finding and dividing the war booty, aren’t they?    A girl or two for each valiant warrior, and some dyed materials for Sisera—    perhaps dyed, embroidered war booty— or some detailed embroidery for my neck    as the booty of war!

31 “May all of your enemies perish like this, Lord!    But may those who love him be        like the ascending sun in its strength!”

Then the land enjoyed quiet for 40 years. — Judges 5 | International Standard Version (ISV) The International Standard Version of the Holy Bible Copyright © 1995-2014 by ISV Foundation.

HER STORY: Exodus Pioneers, Deborah

She was a prophet, a poet, a powerful judge, and she was called of God to lead her nation in victory, in prosperity, and in peace. #Judges4 #Judges5 #Deborah #Jael #JudgeDeborah #DeborahinJudges #DeborahofJudges #DeborahtheJudge #Sisera #Barak

#Judges4 #Judges5 #Deborah #Jael #JudgeDeborah #DeborahinJudges #DeborahofJudges #DeborahtheJudge #Sisera #Barak Deborah is maybe the most famous woman depicted in the Book of Judges, besides Delilah. And what sets Deborah apart from perhaps every woman in the entirety of the scriptures—both the Hebrew and Christian Testaments, is the astonishing position she held in Israel. As Judge, Deborah…

I've been binging Batman Beyond recently (Terry ily so much) and thought about how- bc of the JLU twist which I think isn't even canon to the comics BB verse but shhh bare with me- he'd technically be Damian's half brother??? Which is just so ridiculously soap opera to me. I need them to interact in a silly time travel adventure so bad you don't even understand (ID in alt)

#dc comics #damian wayne #terry mcginnis #batman beyond #batman and robin #mine #also feat the mild damian uniform redesign i like playing around with. it's fun i like her. i love u classic robin colours #the backstory for this image in my mind is that Terry knows of Damian/has maybe met him #in the future (whether we're going w the rebirth ''damian rejoins the league'' angle that i. don't love conceptually but can't judge- #-bc i haven't read. or if we go w/ some other potential future route for damian) and Terry is like. experiencing whiplash at meeting him- #-as robin. like you are 5 feet tall why r u so bossy. where is your dad good god. this is why i don't have a robin (?this is pre matt-robin) #but Terry's in an unfamiliar time trying not to cause a paradox so he puts aside his indignitude(?) at being bossed around by a kid #just long enough to make sure nothing goes horrifically wrong. hence this image takes place #<- i could've been a lot more eloquent explaining this but it's very late and i should've been asleep ages ago #anyway. absolutely crazy to me that Damian has had multiple flavours of secret brother plots and terry is a potential addition. rip damian #(also in my ideal future damian took up the nightwing mantle (EVERYONE READ NIGHTWING MUST DIE!!!) before retiring( #idk what his future career is. lowkey hes a webcomic artist in my brain but that's so horrendously self indulgent i can't condone it #also i decided to try my hands at lineart again. evil. how are you so stiff looking and difficult to do. waughh #anyway if things look weird. no they don't

being childhood friends with yuuji…

your parents are close and you’re both the same age, so you grow up attached at the hip. you do everything together: learn how to tie your shoes, ride the school bus, take swimming lessons, attend birthday parties.

it isn’t until high school that you start drifting apart. yuuji is gifted at sports and you’re neck deep in college prep; you care for one another still, but you don’t have time to hang out. you’re both too busy and usually forego any get-togethers that your parents have.

the last time you see yuuji for many years is before you go to college. you attend separate schools: he gets a sports scholarship, you get an academic scholarship. you both have fond memories of one another, but things aren’t how they used to be.

it isn’t until after you graduate college and start the soul-sucking corporate grind that you see your childhood best friend again. you’re visiting your parents one weekend and a surprise guest shows up: yuuji.

the boy you once knew is now a man. he grew into his too-large feet, it seems: he’s tall and broad and undeniably strong. his skin looks sunkissed—did he always have those freckles across the bridge of his nose? and his eyes are rich and smooth, an overflowing spoonful of honey.

the smile that graces his lips is devastating when his gaze meets yours. you swear the butterflies in your stomach will lift you off of the floor. you wonder what you look like from his perspective. is he disappointed?

the hug that yuuji gives you is imbued with the love he has felt for as long as he can remember; it’s the love that scared him as a boy, the love he tried to shake in college, the love that he’s now determined to hold onto—if you’ll have him.

#this is just another idea. sighhhhh. this is sooooo tropey and boring but it’s just perfect for HIM #pls don’t judge my writing i wrote this in 5 seconds at work ty #yuuji <3

on March 14th 2023, a Polish abortion activist Justyna Wydrzyńska was sentenced to eight months of community service for helping a woman in an abusive relationship access abortion pills

Poland has one of the strictest abortion laws in Europe.

if you can, please consider donating to ADT, the organisation that helps people in Poland access abortion!

edit: i see this post got reblogged into the terf teritory. ADT is trans friendly. please just donate and be quiet <3

#luckily they still can appeal and it's better than jail still but like. #it's so stupid that so much time is wasted on those absurd trials #i know that community service doesn't sound that bad comparing to some other things happening around the world #but still at first she was told she could face up to 3 years in jail #idk those women are heros and make me feel much more safer and less stressed living in Poland #because I know if I ever needed an abortion they would be there to help me #and also 5 dollars is almost an equivalent of a minimum hourly wage in Poland #polish currency is weaker so even 2 dollars count a lot! #and the judge was a woman! same as the leader of the constitutional tribunal that made abortion more illegal #feminism #abortion #poland #human rights #reproductive rights

This moment is deeper than ANYTHING. Atsushi is actually trusting Akutagawa here, in this very moment. He's opening up about his deepest secret, that no one else knows. And he CHOSE to reveal it to Akutagawa. His sworn enemy. His rival. This is such a PEAK moment.

#i'm so proud of atsushi for finally opening up about his hallucinations #he didn't need to say anything to akutagawa #akutagawa hadn't asked for this specifically #but atsushi still trusted him with the details #and akutagawa was actually shocked #he really wasn't expecting atsushi to feel that way #the way he turned in the direction atsushi pointed at #peak moment #this is top 5 sskk scenes #atsushi opening up and akutagawa not judging or criticising him #it's so beautiful #bsd #bsd s3 #bsd manga #sskk #shin soukoku #atsushi nakajima #bungou stray dogs #akutagawa ryuunosuke #sskk s3

Tel Megiddo

i have no idea what the setup for it would be, but the idea of a fic in which gotham simultaneously learns that BATMAN and NIGHTWING, widely considered two of the most capable people in the world, are college dropouts AND that HARLEY QUINN was batman's classmate (and also that harley knows his identity, apparently? she insists she doesn't but no one is buying that he turned up to classes in the cowl) refused to leave my brain, and seemed like the kind of premise you'd get a kick out of.

This reminds me of the Facebook spam “Mark Zuckerberg was a college drop out!!” Because yeah, technically he was. But there’s a big difference between your buddy dropping out of community college because he didn’t like getting up early and Bruce Wayne, who dropped out of medical school to become a ninja and work through his trauma on a mountain somewhere.

I’m sure there’s a lot of Gothamites who play the “but Batman is a college dropout too!” card with their buddies 😅

#tbc there is nothing to judge in dropping out #but sometimes it’s just life stuff #sometimes it’s trauma #sometimes you’re a genius billionaire about to ruin the world in 5-10 years #etc etc #bruce wayne #batman #dc #nightwing #dick grayson #asks #anon #clearing out asks
