Land rests while sin rests§1

1The land rests while sin rests; the land is stirred when sin returns. Arise, Deborah — prayer that raises the people.

Latin · §1

Quiescit terra donec quiescit peccatum. Moveri dicitur terra quando peccatum redit. Exsurge Debbora — oratio suscitans populum.

Sold into Midian’s hand§2

2 They did evil; he sold them into Midian’s hand. Dens in the mountains — sin’s fear hides.

Latin · §2

Fecerunt malignum; tradidit in manus Madian. Praesepta in montibus — timor peccati abscondit.

Prophetic rebuke§3

3 The Lord sent a prophet: I brought you up from Egypt. Ingratitude is rebuked. Amen.

Latin · §3

Misit Dominus virum prophetam: Ego vos eduxi de Aegypto. Ingratitudo redarguitur. Amen.
