Judges 5
1 Then sang Deborah, and Barak the sonne of Abinoam the same day, saying,
cecineruntque Debbora et Barac filius Abinoem in die illo dicentes

cessaverunt fortes in Israhel et quieverunt donec surgeret Debbora surgeret mater in Israhel

11 For the noyse of the archers appaised among the drawers of water: there shall they rehearse the righteousnesse of the Lord, his righteousnesse of his townes in Israel: then did the people of the Lord goe downe to the gates.
ubi conlisi sunt currus et hostium est suffocatus exercitus ibi narrentur iustitiae Domini et clementia in fortes Israhel tunc descendit populus Domini ad portas et obtinuit principatum
12 Vp Deborah, vp, arise, and sing a song: arise Barak, and leade thy captiuitie captiue, thou sonne of Abinoam.

29 Her wise ladies answered her, Yea. Shee answered her selfe with her owne wordes,
una sapientior ceteris uxoribus eius haec socrui verba respondit
