Judge 5: Deborah And Barak Sings God's Praises And Victories Over Sisera, Jabin And The Canaanites

1 On that day Deborah and Barak son of Abinoam sang this song:

2 “When the princes in Israel take the lead,     when the people willingly offer themselves—     praise the Lord!

3 “Hear this, you kings! Listen, you rulers!     I, even I, will sing to the Lord;     I will praise the Lord, the God of Israel, in song.

4 “When you, Lord, went out from Seir,     when you marched from the land of Edom, the earth shook, the heavens poured,     the clouds poured down water.

5 The mountains quaked before the Lord, the One of Sinai,     before the Lord, the God of Israel.

6 “In the days of Shamgar son of Anath,     in the days of Jael, the highways were abandoned;     travelers took to winding paths.

7 Villagers in Israel would not fight;     they held back until I, Deborah, arose,     until I arose, a mother in Israel.

8 God chose new leaders     when war came to the city gates, but not a shield or spear was seen     among forty thousand in Israel.

9 My heart is with Israel’s princes,     with the willing volunteers among the people.     Praise the Lord!

10 “You who ride on white donkeys,     sitting on your saddle blankets,     and you who walk along the road, consider 

11 the voice of the singers at the watering places.     They recite the victories of the Lord,     the victories of his villagers in Israel.

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

12 ‘Wake up, wake up, Deborah!     Wake up, wake up, break out in song! Arise, Barak!     Take captive your captives, son of Abinoam.’

13 “The remnant of the nobles came down;     the people of the Lord came down to me against the mighty.

14 Some came from Ephraim, whose roots were in Amalek;     Benjamin was with the people who followed you. From Makir captains came down,     from Zebulun those who bear a commander’s staff.

15 The princes of Issachar were with Deborah;     yes, Issachar was with Barak,     sent under his command into the valley. In the districts of Reuben     there was much searching of heart.

16 Why did you stay among the sheep pens     to hear the whistling for the flocks? In the districts of Reuben     there was much searching of heart.

17 Gilead stayed beyond the Jordan.     And Dan, why did he linger by the ships? Asher remained on the coast     and stayed in his coves.

18 The people of Zebulun risked their very lives;     so did Naphtali on the terraced fields.

19 “Kings came, they fought,     the kings of Canaan fought. At Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo,     they took no plunder of silver.

20 From the heavens the stars fought,     from their courses they fought against Sisera.

21 The river Kishon swept them away,     the age-old river, the river Kishon.     March on, my soul; be strong!

22 Then thundered the horses’ hooves—     galloping, galloping go his mighty steeds.

23 ‘Curse Meroz,’ said the angel of the Lord.     ‘Curse its people bitterly, because they did not come to help the Lord,     to help the Lord against the mighty.’

24 “Most blessed of women be Jael,     the wife of Heber the Kenite,     most blessed of tent-dwelling women.

25 He asked for water, and she gave him milk;     in a bowl fit for nobles she brought him curdled milk.

26 Her hand reached for the tent peg,     her right hand for the workman’s hammer. She struck Sisera, she crushed his head,     she shattered and pierced his temple.

27 At her feet he sank,     he fell; there he lay. At her feet he sank, he fell;     where he sank, there he fell—dead.

28 “Through the window peered Sisera’s mother;     behind the lattice she cried out, ‘Why is his chariot so long in coming?     Why is the clatter of his chariots delayed?’

29 The wisest of her ladies answer her;     indeed, she keeps saying to herself,

30 ‘Are they not finding and dividing the spoils:     a woman or two for each man, colorful garments as plunder for Sisera,     colorful garments embroidered, highly embroidered garments for my neck—     all this as plunder?’

31 “So may all your enemies perish, Lord!     But may all who love you be like the sun     when it rises in its strength.”

Then the land had peace forty years.

Siblings Behavior

It's shenanigans time guys

So have this DpxDc idea.

So, the Justice League and the Light (OR villains in general) have two newish members, they've both been around for about a year and they're from the same plane of existence (a place called the Infinite Realms according to those who dabble in the occult)

And the two seem to have some serious beef with each other.

Wisp and Wrath are basicly feral cats hissing and hekles raised when they spot the other and their fights normally ends in draws. They're evenly matched and sometimes the two even fight to the point they are out of steam and just fist fight.

Needless to say everyone believes they totally hate each other and might one day kill (or end?) One of them.

So everything gets turned upside down when suddenly both factions of heros and villains are suddenly summoned to the Infinite Realms.

In a throne room.

In front of the Infinite King (or most commonly known as the Ghost King)

A King who looks very, very much like Wisp and Wrath (like yeah the two do sometimes look alike, like when they grin with sharp teeth and their hair color, but one has blue skin and red eyes for crying out loud!)

He's staring at them, glowing green eyes that seemed to just... know.

"Welcome to the Infinite Realms. I am King Phantom." His voice echoing in the throne room and seemed to rattle them deeply, like a sudden chill in the early morning.

"I have summoned you all here for a single reason." He continued to say "Tell me..."

Here he paused, closed his eyes before leaning back on the chair then he smiled big and cheerfully asked.

"How are my kids doing in your world? Dan and Ellie aren't causing too much chaos in their wake are they? They tend to go a tiny bit overboard sometimes but what siblings don't when they rough house you know. Tell me everything."

Lord God Almighty!

Psalm 89:6 and 52 How long, LORD? wilt Thou hide Thyself for ever? shall Thy wrath burn like fire? Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen. Psalm 89 is full of both questions and answers. What they almost all adress is the absolute sovereignty of God, the Creator of all things, including mankind. In v. 6, Ethan the Ezrahite wonders how long the Lord is going to put up with the…

"You have never faced a death" is possibly the most patently insane thing possible to say to James T. Kirk, who has

survived a famine and genocide at age 13, in which over 4000 people died

survived an attack on the Farragut which killed half the crew, including a captain who he cared about, and which he blamed himself for failing to stop

been forced to kill Gary Mitchell, an old friend of his

lost numerous lovers, including a woman carrying his child, and including some he was at least partially responsible for the deaths of

arrived too late to save the lives of his brother and sister-in-law

lost too many crewmembers to count, and you know he held himself personally responsible for each and every one of those

probably more that I'm forgetting about

and then Spock dies, and Kirk fucking AGREES.

He says, yes, you're right. I haven't faced death. Not like this.

Not like this.

All of those deaths he's lived through, and blamed himself for? You're telling me that none of them mean as much to him as the death of Spock? And you want me to read this as. what. Normal friend things?? When he calls Spock the more noble half of his soul?? And says that Spock's katra is his responsibility, just as much as if it were his own???

And what if I screamed??!???

[starmocha]

He's making dinner for both of us instead of dining out?

He's only mildly annoyed that we playfully poked him in the side? (Also MC feels comfortable enough to do it in the first place)

He's let us cover him in cutesy childish band-aids five times before stopping the sixth attempt?

Man is soft for us. He is giving "if anything happens to her, I will kill everyone in this room and then myself" vibe.

I'm in love.

Deuteronomy 32: Moses' Song For God He Teaches And Sings For Israel To Remember

1 Listen, you heavens, and I will speak;     hear, you earth, the words of my mouth.

2 Let my teaching fall like rain     and my words descend like dew, like showers on new grass,     like abundant rain on tender plants.

3 I will proclaim the name of the Lord.     Oh, praise the greatness of our God!

4 He is the Rock, his works are perfect,     and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong,     upright and just is he.

5 They are corrupt and not his children;     to their shame they are a warped and crooked generation.

6 Is this the way you repay the Lord,     you foolish and unwise people? Is he not your Father, your Creator,     who made you and formed you?

7 Remember the days of old;     consider the generations long past. Ask your father and he will tell you,     your elders, and they will explain to you.

8 When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance,     when he divided all mankind, he set up boundaries for the peoples     according to the number of the sons of Israel.

9 For the Lord’s portion is his people,     Jacob his allotted inheritance.

10 In a desert land he found him,     in a barren and howling waste. He shielded him and cared for him;     he guarded him as the apple of his eye,

11 like an eagle that stirs up its nest     and hovers over its young, that spreads its wings to catch them     and carries them aloft.

12 The Lord alone led him;     no foreign god was with him.

13 He made him ride on the heights of the land     and fed him with the fruit of the fields. He nourished him with honey from the rock,     and with oil from the flinty crag,

14 with curds and milk from herd and flock     and with fattened lambs and goats, with choice rams of Bashan     and the finest kernels of wheat. You drank the foaming blood of the grape.

15 Jeshurun grew fat and kicked;     filled with food, they became heavy and sleek. They abandoned the God who made them     and rejected the Rock their Savior.

16 They made him jealous with their foreign gods     and angered him with their detestable idols.

17 They sacrificed to false gods, which are not God—     gods they had not known,     gods that recently appeared,     gods your ancestors did not fear.

18 You deserted the Rock, who fathered you;     you forgot the God who gave you birth.

19 The Lord saw this and rejected them     because he was angered by his sons and daughters.

20 “I will hide my face from them,” he said,     “and see what their end will be; for they are a perverse generation,     children who are unfaithful.

21 They made me jealous by what is no god     and angered me with their worthless idols. I will make them envious by those who are not a people;     I will make them angry by a nation that has no understanding.

22 For a fire will be kindled by my wrath,     one that burns down to the realm of the dead below. It will devour the earth and its harvests     and set afire the foundations of the mountains.

23 “I will heap calamities on them     and spend my arrows against them.

24 I will send wasting famine against them,     consuming pestilence and deadly plague; I will send against them the fangs of wild beasts,     the venom of vipers that glide in the dust.

25 In the street the sword will make them childless;     in their homes terror will reign. The young men and young women will perish,     the infants and those with gray hair.

26 I said I would scatter them     and erase their name from human memory,

27 but I dreaded the taunt of the enemy,     lest the adversary misunderstand and say, ‘Our hand has triumphed;     the Lord has not done all this.’”

28 They are a nation without sense,     there is no discernment in them.

29 If only they were wise and would understand this     and discern what their end will be!

30 How could one man chase a thousand,     or two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them,     unless the Lord had given them up?

31 For their rock is not like our Rock,     as even our enemies concede.

32 Their vine comes from the vine of Sodom     and from the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes are filled with poison,     and their clusters with bitterness.

33 Their wine is the venom of serpents,     the deadly poison of cobras.

34 “Have I not kept this in reserve     and sealed it in my vaults?

35 It is mine to avenge; I will repay.     In due time their foot will slip; their day of disaster is near     and their doom rushes upon them.”

36 The Lord will vindicate his people     and relent concerning his servants when he sees their strength is gone     and no one is left, slave or free.

37 He will say: “Now where are their gods,     the rock they took refuge in,

38 the gods who ate the fat of their sacrifices     and drank the wine of their drink offerings? Let them rise up to help you!     Let them give you shelter!

39 “See now that I myself am he!     There is no god besides me. I put to death and I bring to life,     I have wounded and I will heal,     and no one can deliver out of my hand.

40 I lift my hand to heaven and solemnly swear:     As surely as I live forever,

41 when I sharpen my flashing sword     and my hand grasps it in judgment, I will take vengeance on my adversaries     and repay those who hate me.

42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood,     while my sword devours flesh: the blood of the slain and the captives,     the heads of the enemy leaders.”

43 Rejoice, you nations, with his people,     for he will avenge the blood of his servants; he will take vengeance on his enemies     and make atonement for his land and people.

44 Moses came with Joshua son of Nun and spoke all the words of this song in the hearing of the people. 

45 When Moses finished reciting all these words to all Israel, 

46 he said to them, “Take to heart all the words I have solemnly declared to you this day, so that you may command your children to obey carefully all the words of this law. 

47 They are not just idle words for you—they are your life. By them you will live long in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess.”

Moses to Die on Mount Nebo

48 On that same day the Lord told Moses, 

49 “Go up into the Abarim Range to Mount Nebo in Moab, across from Jericho, and view Canaan, the land I am giving the Israelites as their own possession. 

50 There on the mountain that you have climbed you will die and be gathered to your people, just as your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people. 

51 This is because both of you broke faith with me in the presence of the Israelites at the waters of Meribah Kadesh in the Desert of Zin and because you did not uphold my holiness among the Israelites. 

52 Therefore, you will see the land only from a distance; you will not enter the land I am giving to the people of Israel.”

these books are written for disabled children. percy has, since tlt, been very outspoken when ppl put his intelligence down. there is a constant reminder that the ppl who treat him like he's stupid are not correct bc these series are specifically written for ppl w disabilities. that's why percy clarifies "i'm dyslexic. i'm not stupid." in the tenth anniversary edition of tlt. percy's insecurities do not affect the overall message that ur disability does not make you stupid bc percy himself is constantly challenging the ppl treating him like he's stupid.

conversely, wottg is constantly making digs at percy's grades and percy's ability to think without annabeth without keeping the theme that your disabilities do not make u stupid. annabeth is acing all of her classes. give me one example from wottg that detail how her disabilities negatively affect her or how she is accommodated to overcome them. and now think why it might be a problem that percy, someone who is written specifically to represent children w disabilities, is being treated as stupid, doing poorly in his classes, is being overworked, is constantly disparaging himself, and is never once standing up for himself, like he did in tlt.

*percy seen from a far, wearing a suit*

piper: do my eyes deceive me or is percy jackson wearing formal clothes? since when does he have the ability to look like a domesticated human being?

frank: how come HE, percy of all people, king of untidiness, can wear a cream linen suit and look like a celebrity, but when i tried one on i looked like a man-child going to a high school dance?

hazel: sweetie it’s just because it’s such a casual suit, and you’re much more elegant than percy is!

annabeth, turning to them: um okay, hi percy’s best friends? can you guys compliment him without insulting him?

leo: his ass looks incredible.

grover: has he been working out?

annabeth, side eyeing them:

annabeth: okay, you have all now either insulted him or hit on him. how about from now on, you do neither?

rachel: how about we do both? because i’ve actually just perfected doing them at the same time

i never stop thinking about the scene in the Wrath of Khan where Spock was in the warp core, and Bones and Scotty had to physically hold Kirk back because they knew that if they let him go, he'd open the door and flood the whole ship with radiation just to get to Spock. just to be able to hold him while he died.
